Triangle Congruence by SSS and SAS
13. Draw a Diagram A student draws nABC and nQRS. ! e following sides
and angles are congruent:
AC > QS AB>QR /B>/R
Based on this, can the student use either SSS or SAS to prove that nABC > nQRS?
If the answer is no, explain what additional information the student needs. Use a sketch
to help explain your answer. A Q
No; lB and lR are not the
included angles for the sides
given. To prove congruence, you
would need to know either that

16. Error Analysis nFGH and nPQR are both equilateral triangles. Your
friend says this means they are congruent by the SSS Postulate. Is your friend
correct? Explain. Incorrect; both triangles being equilateral means that the three
angles and sides of each triangle are congruent, but there is no information
comparing the side lengths of the two triangles.
17. A student is gluing same-sized toothpicks together to make triangles. She
plans to use these triangles to make a model of a bridge. Will all the triangles
be congruent? Explain your answer. Yes; because all the triangles are made from the
same-sized toothpick, all three corresponding sides will be congruent.
