Triangle Congruence: SSS and HL

Question 10 • AZ-Geometry A (MA201)

The dotted line splits the parallelogram into two triangles. What is true about the congruency of the two triangles?

Answer
A
More information is needed.
B
The triangles can be proven congruent using SSS.
C
The triangles can be proven congruent using HL.
D
The triangles are not congruent.

Explanation

A diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two triangles. Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal, so the triangles have two pairs of equal sides; they also share the diagonal. Therefore, the triangles can be proven congruent using SSS.
