volume_mute
Correct Answer
SAS property
Explanation
From the diagram, you are comparing △ABE and △CBD.
Given from the markings
-
AB = BC (single tick mark)
-
BE = BD (double tick mark)
-
The angle formed between these pairs of equal sides is the vertical angle at B, so
∠ABE = ∠CBD (vertical angles are equal)
How to prove the triangles are congruent
Use the SAS Congruence Rule:
-
\( \overline{AB} = \overline{BC} \)
-
Included angle ∠ABE = ∠CBD (vertical angles)
-
\( \overline{BE} = \overline{BD} \)
Conclusion
Since two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of the other triangle:
