For the following figure, (a) List two pairs of congruent corresponding sides and one pair of congruent corresponding angles in and . (b) Notice that, in each triangle, you listed two sides and nonincluded angle. Do you think that SSA is enough to guarantee that two triangles are congruent?

Write proofs in two鈥揷olumn form.
Theorem 4鈥1.
Draw and label a diagram. List, in terms of the diagram, what is given and what is to be proved. Then write a two-column proof.
25. If pentagonv is equilateral and has right angles at and , then diagonals and form congruent triangles.
Suppose you are given a scalene triangle and a point on some line . How many triangles are there with one vertex at , another vertex on, and each triangle congruent to the given triangle.
Decide whether you can deduce by the SSS, SAS, or ASA postulate that another triangle is congruent to . If so, write the congruence and name the postulate used. If not, write no congruence can be deduced.
