For the following figure, can the triangle be proved congruent? If so, what postulate can be used?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The triangles are not congruent.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Check the figure.

Consider the figure.

02

Step 2. Step description.

From the figure, the first triangle has two sides, and included angle is given but in the second triangle included angle between the two sides is not congruent with the first triangle.

03

Step 3. Step description.

Since the angles and side of two triangles is not congruent and thus, they are not equal.

Therefore, the triangles are not congruent.
