If a triangle has an angle between two congruent sides, then it is isosceles.
If a triangle has an angle between two congruent sides, then it is isosceles.

If two triangles have one pair of congruent angles and two pairs of congruent sides, then the triangles are congruent.
If two triangles have one pair of congruent angles and two pairs of congruent sides, then the triangles are congruent.

If two triangles have one pair of congruent angles and at least one pair of congruent sides, then the triangles are congruent.

The SAS Congruence Theorem states:

If two triangles have one pair of congruent sides and the included angle between those sides is congruent, then the triangles are congruent.

Now, regarding the other parts of your question:

  1. To explain why △ABD ≅ △CBD by the SAS Congruence Theorem, you would need to know:

    BD is the angle bisector of ∠BCD.

    This information indicates that the two triangles share the side BD and the corresponding angles and sides can be compared.

  2. For the question "Are the triangles congruent? If so, write a congruence statement and reason why," it would depend on the specific conditions given for triangles ABC and LMN. However, based on what was provided:

    Yes, △ABC ≅ △LMN by the SAS Congruence Theorem.

    This is true if you have one pair of congruent sides included with a congruent angle.

Thus, the correct statements regarding the SAS theorem and the congruences above would be:

  • Quadrant 1: The SAS Congruence Theorem definition.
  • Quadrant 2: BD is the angle bisector of ∠BCD.
  • Quadrant 3: Yes, △ABC ≅ △LMN by the SAS Congruence Theorem.
