If you want to use rigid transformations to justify the SSS Congruence Theorem, what type of triangles do you need to start with?

Question

Option #1: a pair of triangles that each have three congruent sides

Option #2: a pair of triangles with three pairs of congruent sides

Option #3: a pair of triangles with all side lengths given

Option #4: a pair of triangles with all side lengths given and all angles given

(1 point)

Option #? best describes the type of triangles necessary for justifying the SSS Congruence Theorem.

Answer 1

The best option that describes the type of triangles necessary for justifying the SSS Congruence Theorem is:

Option #2: a pair of triangles with three pairs of congruent sides.

This option accurately reflects the requirement for the SSS (Side-Side-Side) Congruence Theorem, which states that if three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
