Question 932857: The rules for a sailboat race stipulate that the triangular sail, labeled in the following figure, must be the same size and shape on each boat. List three
measurements the judge can take on each sail so she can verify the sails are the same size without taking them down to measure them. Which triangle congruence property applies? (There is an Image of a Sailboat and the sail makes a Right sided triangle (L)connect a line to close the (L) and "B" is at the top "C" is the {{90^0}} angle and "A" is the end point).
I was able to figure if the judge measures angle A, angle C, and the distance from A to C then this would be the ASA or angle-side-angle congruence property which means 2 angles and the INCLUDED side. Those would be the easiest properties to measure on a sailboat's sail. But I am not confident in my answer PLEASE HELP!!!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! angle C is 90 degrees on all the sailboats so the judge does not need to measure that angle.
judge needs to measure angle A and distance from A to C
