In triangle XYZ , m angle cap x is equal to 90 degrees and m angle cap y is equal to 30 degrees In triangle TUV , m angle cap u is equal to 30 degrees and m angle cap v is equal to 60 degrees Which is true about the two triangles?

A
triangle XYZ is congruent to triangle TUV
B
triangle XYZ is congruent to triangle VUT
C
No congruency statement can be made because only two angles in each triangle are known.
D
No congruency statement can be made because the side lengths are unknown.

Which pair of triangles can be proven congruent by SAS?

A
Image with description 2 triangles have congruent bases, congruent side lengths, and congruent angles that are not included between two congruent sides.
B
Image with description 2 congruent triangles have a common altitude, congruent angles at the vertex, and congruent base angles at the altitude.
C
Image with description 2 triangles have a common side, 2 congruent bases, and 2 congruent altitudes.
D
Image with description A triangle has no labels. A perpendicular bisector is drawn from the vertex to the opposite base and divides the base into 2 equal halves, so 2 identical triangles are formed.

Could triangle JKL be congruent to triangle XYZ ? Explain.

A
Yes, if line segment JL is congruent to line segment XZ .
B
No, because the leg of one triangle is equal in length to the leg of the other triangle.
C
No, because the hypotenuse of one triangle is equal in length to the leg of the other triangle.
D
Yes, if XZ is equal to 10 .
