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:
-
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.
-
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.
