Best Answer

True.

Only if the given angle is between the two sides will the two triangles guarantee to be congruent (SAS), unless the given angle is a right angle (90°) in which case you now have RHS (Right-angle, Hypotenuse, Side) which does guarantee congruence.

Does SSA guarantees congruence between two triangles?

false


SSA side-side-angle guarantees congruence between two triangles?

trueTrue -- SSA does NOT guarantee congruence.Only SAS, SSS, and ASA can do that (and AAS, because if two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent, the third has to be).


What is SSA in geometry?

It refers to the congruence of two sides and a non-included angle of one triangle with that of another. SSA does not imply congruence of the triangles.


What is ass or ssa congruence postulate?

The ASS postulate would be that:if an angle and two sides of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding angle and two sides of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.The SSA postulate would be similar.Neither is true.


What are not congruence theorems?

I am guessing you are interested in triangles. Here are two false triangle congruence theorem conjectures.1, If the angles of one triangle are equal respectively to the angles of another triangle, the triangles are congruent. ( abbreviated AAA).2. If two sides and one angle of a triangle are equal respectively the two sides and one angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent. (abbreviated SSA)Comment: Draw triangles with pairs of equal sides but in which the included angle between the equal sides is acute in one case and obtuse in the others.


What are the only two triangle congruence shortcuts that do not work?

The only Two Triangle congruence shortcuts that do not prove congruence are: 1.AAA( Three pairs of angles in a triangle) & 2.ASS or SSA(If the angle is not in between the two sides like ASA.


Is ssa a conguent theorem or postulate?

No. SSA can give rise to a pair of non-congruent triangles.


Wwhich of the following are not congruence theorems or postulates?

the congruence theorems or postulates are: SAS AAS SSS ASA


AAA angle angle angle guarantees congruence between two triangles?

true apex :)


Which arrangement cannot be used to prove two triangles congruent?

SSA


Is side angle angle a congruence shortcut?

No, the side-side-angle in congruence shortcut DOESN'T exist..hint-SSA turns backward--->ASS<---thats the problem of no word will come on math..kinda funny to laugh about but SSA=GET rid off it! use SSS, SAS, ASA, SAA, SSS, and AAA.


Why does the SSA postulate work only with the right triangle?

You can't use SSA or ASS as a postulate because it doesn't determine that the triangles are congruent; right triangles are most likely determined by HL: hypotenuse leg- genius!
