Question

In triangles ABC and DEF, AB = FD and ∠A = ∠D. The two triangles will be congruent by SAS axiom, if __________.

Answer 1

SAS congruence axiom states that two triangles are congruent if two sides and the included angle of one are equal to the corresponding sides and the included angle of the other triangle.

In ∆ABC, ∠A is included between the sides AB and AC.

In ∆DEF, ∠D is included between the sides DF and DE.



∴ ∆ABC ≅ ∆DEF by SAS axiom if AC = DE.

In triangles ABC and DEF, AB = FD and ∠A = ∠D. The two triangles will be congruent by SAS axiom, if __AC = DE__.
