Question

To prove the given triangles to be congruent, what is the additional condition required?

• A. AB = PQ
• B. BC = PQ
• C. ∠A = ∠R
• D. CA = PR

Answer 1

The correct option is B BC = PQ

For the triangles to be congruent by ASA congruence, we have

∠ABC=∠RPQ=90°

∠ACB=∠RQP=70°

To establish congruence by ASA criterion, we need included sides of angles to be equal, which is BC=PQ.
