To prove that the triangles are congruent by ASA, which statement and reason could be used as part of the proof?

A
angle cap f cap h cap g is congruent to angle cap j cap k cap g because right angles are congruent.
B
angle cap f cap g cap h is congruent to angle cap k cap g cap j because vertical angles are congruent.
C
angle cap j cap k cap g is congruent to angle cap h cap f cap g because vertical angles are congruent.
D
angle cap h cap f cap g is congruent to angle cap k cap j cap g because alternate interior angles are congruent.
5

Could triangle ABC be congruent to triangle ADC by SSS? Explain.

A
Yes, but only if line segment BC is congruent to line segment DC .
B
No, because line segment AB is congruent to line segment DA .
C
Yes, but only if line segment AB is congruent to line segment DC .
D
No, because line segment AB is not congruent to line segment AC .

Which best explains whether or not triangles RST and ACB are congruent?

A
The figures are not congruent. Point cap r corresponds to point cap A , but cap s corresponds to cap b and cap t corresponds to cap c .
B
The figures are congruent. triangle RST can be mapped to triangle ACB by a reflection over the y -axis and a translation 2 units down.
C
The figures are congruent. triangle RST can be mapped to triangle ACB by a reflection over the x -axis and a translation 2 units to the left.
D
The figures are not congruent. Point cap r does not correspond with point cap A .

Nessa proved that these triangles are congruent using ASA. Roberto proved that they are congruent using AAS. Which statement and reason would be included in Roberto’s proof that was not included in Nessa’s proof? Given: angle cap b is congruent to angle cap n ; line segment cap b cap c is congruent to line segment cap n cap m ; angle cap c is right; angle cap m is right Prove: triangle cap A cap b cap c is congruent to triangle cap q cap n cap m

A
line segment cap A cap b is congruent to line segment cap q cap n because they are both opposite a right angle.
B
line segment cap b cap c is congruent to line segment cap n cap m because it is given.
C
angle cap c is congruent to angle cap m because right angles are congruent.
D
angle cap A is congruent to angle cap q because of the third angle theorem.
