Aisha is correct in her reasoning. In congruent triangles, corresponding angles are equal, which means that corresponding angles with the same position in their respective triangles are equal. Therefore, ∠G≅∠C is a valid statement.
Sebastian's reasoning is incorrect because being on endpoints of their respective triangles does not necessarily mean that the angles are equal.
Conner's reasoning is also incorrect because being closest to the congruency sign does not necessarily mean that the angles are equal.
Sebastian, Aisha, and Conner are analyzing the statement △BGH≅△PCF .
Sebastian says ∠B≅∠F because they are both on endpoints of their respective triangles.
Aisha says ∠G≅∠C because both letters are in the middle of their respective triangles.
Conner says ∠H≅∠P because both letters are closest to the congruency sign in their respective triangles.
Which student is correct in their reasoning?
