Question
Name the postulate, if possible, that makes the triangles congruent.
- SSS
- SAS
- ASA
- Not possible
Hint:
In two triangles, if the three sides of one triangle are equal to the corresponding three sides (SSS) of the other triangle, then the two triangles are congruent by SSS rule.
The correct answer is: SSS
From the above diagram,
OE = OE (Common side for both triangles)
OL = OV ( given by notations in the diagram )
EL = EV ( given by notations in the diagram )
Here, the three sides of one triangle are equal to the corresponding three sides (SSS) of the other triangle .
So, the two triangles OEL and OEV are congruent by SSS rule.
