Decide whether enough information is given to prove that the triangles are congruent using ASA Congruence theorem. If so, write a proof. If not, explain why.
yes; It is given that WZ|| YX . ZWXZ is supplementary to 2ZWX and ZWZX is supplementary to ZXYZ by the
O Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem. Also, ZX ZX by the Reflexive Property of Congruence. So,
AWXZAYZX by the ASA Congruence Theorem.
yes; It is given that WZ YX .ZWXZ YZX and ZWZX ZYXZ by the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem. Also,
ZX XZ by the Reflexive Property of Congruence. So, AWXZ AYZX by the ASA Congruence Theorem.
no; There is only enough information to conclude that one pair of angles and one pair of sides are congruent. So,
ASA does not apply in this case.
o no; The information given applies to two angles and a non-included side. So, ASA does not apply in this case.
