4. Proving Triangles Congruent-ASA, AAS
Sign In
Mark the congruent angles on the diagram.
See solution.
We can see that triangles △ JKL and △ MLK have two pairs of congruent angles. The side included between these angles is common and hence also congruent in the two triangles. This means we can use the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Congruence Postulate to conclude that the two triangles are congruent. △ JKL≅△ MLK Let's summarize what we can see about the position of the highlighted segments.
Since these segments are opposite to corresponding congruent angles in the two triangles, these are corresponding segments. We know that corresponding segments of congruent triangles are congruent, so we have proven the claim we were asked to prove. JK≅ ML
