SSA is ambiguous. If A is not a right angle, then there are two possible configurations for the triangle. So they need not be congruent.

Ssa sas sss which of these mean congruent?

SAS and SSS are congruent. SSA need not be.


Is it true triangles satisfying SSA are congruent?

No. SSA is ambiguous. Unless A = 90 degrees, there are two possible configurations for the triangle. So they need not be congruent.


Is ssa a conguent theorem or postulate?

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


Which arrangement cannot be used to prove two triangles congruent?

SSA


What are three ways that you can prove that triangles are congruent?

If triangles have the corresponding sides congruent then they are congruent. SSS If two triangles have two sides and an included angle congruent then they are congruent. SAS If two triangles have two angles and an included side congruent then they are congruent. ASA SSA doesn't work.


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!


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 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.

If one pair of opposite angles and one pair of opposite sites of a quadrilateral is congruent then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. How can it be proven?

draw a diagonal through opposite corners of the quadrilateral. This makes two triangles. Prove the triangles are congruent using SSA (side side angle) congruence. Then show that the other two sides of the quadrilater must be congruent to each other, so it is a parallelogram.
