Correct Answer
True
Explanation
This is called ASA Property
We can prove that the triangles shown below are congruent by the ASA property:
Since m(\( \angle P \)) = 60o and m(\( \angle B \)) = 60o, the segments are congruent.
\( \angle P \) ≅ \( \angle B \)
Since m(\( \overline{PR} \)) = 9 and m(\( \overline{BC} \)) = 9, the segments are congruent.
\( \overline{PR} \) ≅ \( \overline{BC} \)
Since m(\( \angle R \)) = 82o and m(\( \angle C \)) = 82o, the segments are congruent.
\( \angle R \) ≅ \( \angle C \)
Therefore, \( \triangle PQR \) ≅ \( \triangle BAC \)
