Best Answer

Yes.

Make one triangle using hree matches.

Underneath the two vertices at the base of this triangle, make another two triangles, using six more matches.

You will find that there is an inverted triangle in the middle - the fourth.

What is SSS used for in geometry?

SSS is a postulate used in proving that two triangles are congruent. It is also known as the "Side-Side-Side" Triangle Congruence Postulate. It states that if all 3 sides of a triangle are congruent to another triangles 3 sides, then both triangles are congruent.


How does sas theorem answer?

The SAS theorem is used to prove that two triangles are congruent. If the triangles have a side-angle-side that are congruent (it must be in that order), then the two triangles can be proved congruent. Using this theorem can in the future help prove corresponding parts are congruent among other things.


Why can't you use AAA to prove two triangles congruent?

You can't use AAA to prove two triangles congruent because triangles can have the same measures of all its angles but be bigger or smaller, AAA could probably be used to prove two triangles are similar not congruent.


Which arrangement cannot be used to prove two triangles congruent?

What needs to happen before you can use the reason CPCTC in a geometric proof?

Before using Corresponding Parts of a Congruent Triangle are Congruent theorem (CPCTC) in a geometric proof, you must first prove that there is a congruent triangles. This method can be used for proving polygons and geometrical triangles.


What CANNOT be used to prove triangles congruent ASA. SSS. SAS.?

All three of those CAN .


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 .
