20. ANS: A REF: 4-5 Isosceles and Equilateral Triangles TOP: 4-5 Example 2
22. ANS:
Sides: , ,
Angles: , ,
23. ANS:
Answers may vary. Sample: Two pairs of sides are congruent, but the angle is not included. There is no SSA
Congruence Theorem, so you cannot conclude with the information given.
24. ANS:
Answers may vary. Sample: Since the two triangles share the side , they are congruent by SAS. Then
by CPCTC.
25. ANS:
Yes, (in each triangle)
26. ANS:
a. Definition of right triangles
b. Converse of Isosceles Triangle Theorem
c. Reflexive property
d. Angle-Angle-Side Congruence Theorem
27. ANS:
Yes, the diagonal segment is congruent to itself, so the triangles are congruent by SAS.
28. ANS:
Step 3: All right angles are congruent.
Step 4: Reflexive Property
Step 5. HL Theorem

31. ANS:
Not possible; you have one pair of congruent angles and one pair of congruent sides ,
but you would need to know that one more pair of angles are congruent, either or
, to prove the triangles congruent by AAS.
