Algebra.Com's Answer #332598 by cleomenius(959)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The third angle will be 90 degrees, as the three will add to 180 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "A This will not necessarily be a congruent triangle. The angles are congruent, so the triangles are similar. \n" ); document.write( "B. An angle of 90 degrees is congruent to the corresponding 90 degree angle. \n" ); document.write( "C. The sides would be similar but not congruent. \n" ); document.write( "D. Those parts would be congruent, but not necessarily the triangles. \n" ); document.write( "E. Yes, and by the SAS theorem, the two triangles will be congruent. \n" ); document.write( "F. No, for the SAS theorem you need the two sides and the included angle, the 60 degree angle will not be the included angle. \n" ); document.write( "Cleomenius. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
