There cannot be a proof since the statement need not be true.

Which cannot be used as a reason in a proof?
AAA (angle angle angle) cannot be used as a reason in a proof when proving triangles congruent .
What is a equal angle?
If two angles are equal, they're called congruent angles.
How can you say that if areas of two triangles are equal then they are congruent?
In order for a triangle to be congruent the two triangles have to be the same shape and size, thus they are congruent if they can be moved into an isometry or any other combination. But you're asking how a question which has two possibilities. Assuming that you have two triangles whose sides are equivalent which makes the areas equal to each other then you can state the side-side-side rule which is if the three sides of one triangle is equivalent to the other three sides of the other triangle then they are congruent. But if you have an angle present in the triangles you could argue the angle angle side rule, but if the angles are joint you would argue the angle side angle. But if one triangle has one degree and the other one has a different degree then they will not be congruent.
It appears from the name of the HL Theorem that you actually need to know that only two parts of two triangles are congruent in order to prove two triangles congruent Is this the case?
No. You can know all three angles of both and all you can say is that the triangles are similar. Or with any pair of congruent sides you can have an acute angle between them or an obtuse angle.
How do i prove if the base angles of a triangle are congruent then the triangle is isosceles?
Suppose you have triangle ABC with base BC, and angle B = angle C. Draw the altitude AD.Considers triangles ABD and ACDangle ABD = angle ACD (given)angle ADB = 90 deg = angle ACDtherefore angle BAD = angle CADAlso the side AD is common to the two triangles.Therefore triangle ABD is congruent to triangle ACD (ASA) and so AB = AC.That is, triangle ABC is isosceles.
Can you write a two column proof given angles 2 and 3 are congruent and prove angles 1 and 4 are congruent?
Without a visual or more information, I'm guessing that the picture is of angles 1 and 2 that are consecutive (share an angle side) and a separate picture of consecutive angles 3 and 4. With that said: 1) angle 2 congruent to angle 3................1) given 2) angle 1 is supplementary to angle 2....2) If angles are next to each other --> supps angle 3 is supplementary to angle 4 3) angle 1 congruent angle 4..............3) If supps to congruents angles ---> congruent
In two triangles have a congruent angle and two congruent angle and two congruent sides then the triangles are guaranteed to be congruent?
Yes, if two triangles have two congruent angles and two congruent sides then the triangles are guaranteed to be congruent. They only need two angles and one side congruent or two sides and one angle in order to be congruent.
Supplements of the same angle are congruent what's the best statement for reason 6 of this proof?
angle B and angle D are supplements, angle B is congruent to angle D, angle A is congruent to angle A, or angle A is congruent to angle C
What is transitive property of congruence?
The transitive property is if angle A is congruent to angle B and angle B is congruent to angle C, then angle A is congruent to angle C.
Name an angle congruent to angle HRN?
HPE is an angle congruent to angle HRN.
Name an angle congruent to angle PTB?
TBP an angle congruent to angle PTB.
What is the Symmetric Property of Congruence?
The Symmetric Property of Congruence: If angle A is congruent to angle B, then angle B is congruent to angle A. If X is congruent to Y then Y is congruent to X.
What is the measurement of a congruent angle?
A congruent angle can also mean equal angle. So there is no set measurement of a congruent angle. Just the same as the angle it is equal to.
If two triangles have a congruent angle and two congruent sides then are the triangles guaranteed to be congruent?
Only if the congruent angle is the angle between the two congruent sides (SAS postulate).
Transitive property of congruence if a congruence x and t Then?
If angle A is congruent to angle B, then angle B is congruent to angle A.If X is congruent to Y then Y is congruent to X.
What else would need to be congruent to show that abc def by asa?
Angle "A" is congruent to Angle "D"
Can you show that two triangles are congruent by angle-angle-angle?
No, because they need not be congruent.
