Because you need information about all three parts of the triangle, either the side or the angle opposite it, for each of the sides of a triangle.

In AA you are missing the third angle, you could have a triangle where both angles were the same but the height could be different giving you a taller or shorter triangle.

In SSA, the angle would be the one opposite the first side, so you have no information about the third side

Can you use the ASA Postulate or the AAS Theorem to prove the triangles congruent?

Yes, you can use either the ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Postulate or the AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) Theorem to prove triangles congruent, as both are valid methods for establishing congruence. ASA requires two angles and the included side to be known, while AAS involves two angles and a non-included side. If you have the necessary information for either case, you can successfully prove the triangles are congruent.


Does a parellelogram have four congruent triangles?

Yes. Read on for why: Take a parallelogram ABCD with midpoints E and F in the bases. So something like this (forgive the "drawing"): A E B __.__ /__.__/ C F D We know that parallelogram AEFC = EBDF, since they have the same base (F bisects CD, so CF = FD), height (haven't touched that), and angles (<ACF = <EFD because they're parallel - trust me that everything else matches). We also know that every parallelogram can be divided into two congruent triangles along their diagonal. So if two congruent parallelograms consistent of two congruent triangles each, then all four triangles are congruent. So your congruent triangles are ACF, AEF, EFD, and EBD. You can further reinforce this through ASA triangle congruency proofs (as I did at first), but this is a far more concise and equally valid answer.


The sum of the perimeters of two congruent triangles is three times the perimeter of the first triangle?

Let's denote the perimeter of the first triangle as P. Since the triangles are congruent, the perimeter of the second triangle is also P. The sum of their perimeters is then 2P. According to the given statement, this sum is three times the perimeter of the first triangle. So we have the equation 2P = 3P. Simplifying, we find that P = 0, which is not a valid solution. Therefore, there is no triangle for which the sum of the perimeters of two congruent triangles is three times the perimeter of the first triangle.

What is a valid claim in math?

A valid claim in math is that you prove whenether the question or answer is resonable. in other words, you have to tell if it is biased or not biased. Biased is invalid claim.
