C with AB = AC. Question: Why are angles ABC and ACB equal? Solution Approach: Use the isosceles triangle properties. Draw the altitude from A to BC, which bisects BC and creates two congruent triangles. Apply congruence criteria (e.g
ongruence criterion states that if three sides of one triangle are respectively equal to three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. How does the SAS (Side-Angle-Side) criterion prove two triangles are congruent? The SAS criterion states that if two sides a
