Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve the problem in your image, let's walk through the AAS Theorem.
AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) Theorem:
Two triangles are congruent if two angles and the non-included side in one triangle are congruent to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle.
Step-by-Step Analysis:
From the diagram, we have three triangles:
-
Triangle WXV:
- A marked angle at
- A marked angle at
- A marked side
-
Triangle KIJ:
- A marked angle at
- A marked angle at
- A marked side
-
Triangle DEF:
- A marked angle at
- A marked angle at
- A marked side
Identifying Congruent Triangles:
To apply the AAS Theorem, look for two triangles with the same angles and the corresponding side between the same positions.
- Triangle WXV and Triangle KIJ:
- Angle matches with Angle (single arc).
- Angle matches with Angle (double arc).
- Side matches with Side .
Thus, Triangle WXV ≅ Triangle KIJ by the AAS Theorem.
Final Answer:
The two congruent triangles by the AAS theorem are:
