also its a right angled triangle with squares
<@&791435371564892232>
i rlly need help so i appreciate it 🙏 i have a test tmr
You apparently know the angle so I won't touch on that, but it's there anyway
I labelled the sides that are congruent for each triangle (obviously the sides with the same colour are congruent). As its a square as you say, you know that they are the same size
I'm struggling to put it into an answer, like how could I word it so i get 4/4?
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?
i think so
Honestly it doesn't matter whether the squares are the same or not, it'd still be congruent in this case
true say
You can rotate it and translate it to get the triangle
wait - contiguous?
im not gonna lie, what is contiguous
i get that the sides r the same but its so confusing to put into words to explain congruent sides
Are you sure you mean contiguous I can't see anything about 2 contiguous shapes on the Internet 😭
Oh so you mean congruent
well then SAS no?
yeah it's SAS but how do you explain it as a formal answer
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"
