there isn't a AAA postulate because,,, for a triangle to be equal, there HAS to be a side in it
Both state that the whole is equal to the sum of the component parts.
Yes, triangles ABC and DEF can be considered equal (congruent) if they meet specific criteria, such as having all corresponding sides and angles equal. The postulate that applies in this case is the Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence Postulate, which states that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent. Other applicable postulates include Side-Angle-Side (SAS) and Angle-Side-Angle (ASA), depending on the given information.
Yes, triangles ABC and DEF are congruent if all corresponding sides and angles are equal. The congruence postulate that applies in this case could be the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) postulate, which states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. Other applicable postulates include Side-Side-Side (SSS) and Angle-Angle-Side (AAS), depending on the known measurements.
The equation is true because of the reflexive property of equality which states in words that every quantity is equal to inself.
