Math Problem Statement
Solution
To determine whether the two triangles in the image are congruent, we can analyze the given information.
Analysis of the Triangles:
- Both triangles show two pieces of information:
- The triangles have a pair of angles that are marked as congruent.
- The triangles also have a pair of sides marked as congruent.
Possible Congruence Theorems:
From the given information, it appears that we can apply the ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Congruence Theorem. This theorem states that if two angles and the included side (the side between the two angles) of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Conclusion:
- Relationship: The two triangles are related by ASA (Angle-Side-Angle).
- Congruence: Therefore, the triangles can be proven congruent.

- Can triangles be congruent if only two angles are equal?
- How does the SSA condition (Side-Side-Angle) differ from ASA?
- Why is the order of angles and sides important in congruence theorems?
- What happens if the triangles are similar but not congruent?
Tip: To quickly determine if two triangles are congruent, check if they satisfy any of the five major congruence criteria: SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, or HL.
