Decide whether the two triangles must be congruent. If so, write the congruence and name the postulate used. If not, write no congruence can be deduced.

Short Answer

Expert verified

ΔTRP≅ΔTRS by ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Postulate

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. First observation from figure.

Line segmentTR¯ is common in both triangles.

So, by reflexive property of congruency

TR¯≅TR¯

02

Step 2. Find ∠TRP.

Since sum of angles of a triangle is 180°

∠TRP+∠RPT+∠PTR=180°∠TRP+60°+50°=180°∠TRP=180°−110°∠TRP=70°

03

Step 3. Find ∠RTS.

Since sum of angles of a triangle is180°

∠RTS+∠TSR+∠SRT=180°∠RTS+60°+70°=180°∠RTS=180°−130°∠RTS=50°

04

Step 4. Observations from figure and above steps.

∠TRPand ∠TRSare congruent

So, ∠TRP≅∠TRS

Also, ∠PTRand∠STR are congruent

So,∠PTR≅∠STR

05

Step 5. Conclude given two triangles are congruent or not.

From step 1 and 4

Two angles and there including side is congruent

Thus,ΔTRP≅ΔTRS by ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Postulate
