Deepak is measuring sides and angles of triangle FGH to determine whether it is congruent to triangle MNP shown below.Deepak found that has a measure of 50° and is 18.3 centimeters long. Does he need to continue measuring sides and angles of triangle FGH and why?
Answer
A
No, he knows that the triangles are congruent because there are corresponding sides and angles that are congruent.
B
No, he knows that the triangles are not congruent because those measurements are not equal to the corresponding parts of triangle MNP.
C
Yes, he must verify that the other two side lengths and the other two angle measures are the same as those found in triangle MNP.
D
Yes, he must only verify that the other two angle measures are the same as those found in triangle MNP.
