4 marks I get it's SAS and i know why the angle is proof but how do I phrase the sides?

#

also its a right angled triangle with squares

i rlly need help so i appreciate it 🙏 i have a test tmr

i saw some approaches that do it as side 1, then angle, then side 2 but i'm not sure how to implement that into the answer

are the squares the same?

Honestly it doesn't matter whether the squares are the same or not, it'd still be congruent in this case

fringe mantle
#

true say

elder kelp
#

You can rotate it and translate it to get the triangle

fringe mantle
#

wait - contiguous?

elder kelp
#

Contiguous

#

Idk man

#

I can't think straight give me a sec

fringe mantle
#

im not gonna lie, what is contiguous

warm wigeon
#

i get that the sides r the same but its so confusing to put into words to explain congruent sides

elder kelp
#

Are you sure you mean contiguous I can't see anything about 2 contiguous shapes on the Internet 😭

#

Oh so you mean congruent

fringe mantle
#

well then SAS no?

warm wigeon
#

yeah it's SAS but how do you explain it as a formal answer

fringe mantle
#

preferrably label the points

"The shapes are congruent through the SAS rule" then you label each vertex and just say for instance "AC is the same as CD because it is a square"
