Exercise 7 Page 630

Should the side be between the angles or not?

∠ F≅ ∠ L

Practice makes perfect

Let's first add the given information, GH≅ MN and ∠ G≅ ∠ M to the diagram.

We are supposed to use the AAS Congruence Theorem. This requires us to know two angles and a side that is not between the angles. Of the triangle's two remaining angles, there is only one pair of angles that fulfill the AAS Congruence Theorem: ∠ F and ∠ L. Let's mark them.

Now we can copy and complete the statement. &Given GH≅ MN, ∠ G ≅ ∠ M, ∠ F≅ ∠ L &Use the AAS Congruence Theorem
