Can someone explain to me the difference between sas and sss in geometry when dealing with triangle proofs?

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

  SAS = side - angle -side    congruence

              SSS  = side - side - side     congruence

Discussion :

In Plane Geometry,  identical triangles are said to be "congruent". There are several ways, depending upon the information you have, to prove 2 triangles are congruent.

In one approach ("SSS") if you can show that 2 triangles have identical side lengths,  then the triangles are congruent. (A triangle has 3 sides, hence "SSS" -- 3 S's; 3 sides, get it?)

In another approach ("SAS") if you can show that 2 sides, and the angle included between those sides, in one triangle are identical to the sides and included angle in another triangle,  then the triangles are congruent

It's easier to understand this with a picture or diagram than in words. Please review the SSS, SAS picture in your textbook

whole numbers.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the average monthly rainfall (in millimeters) model r(m) for the years 1900-2009 as a function of the month number m.

as we can see m is taken for the number of months for years 1900-2009.

we know that number of months can't be a negative number or decimal number or a fraction.

so, the number of months could be only positive whole numbers.

therefore, whole numbers is more appropriate for the domain of r.

theresa talked her parents into getting sd cards for her phone and her brother’s phone. inserting an sd card into a phone gives it more storage. they both get 8-gigabyte sd cards. how many bits of storage come with each sd card? type your answer in both scientific and standard notation.
