Data Input

DK and BC are congruent.

Angle K and angle C are congruent.

Procedure.

To determine if the triangles are congruent median SAS, we need to know the size of one of the remaining sides

For them, we will measure the ED and AB sides using the Euclidean distance

[tex]d=\sqrt[]{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}[/tex]

For ED

E = (-6, 4)

D = (0, 8)

[tex]\begin{gathered} ED=\sqrt[]{(-6-0)^2+(8-4)^2} \\ ED=\sqrt[]{6^2+4^2} \\ \\ ED=\sqrt[]{(36+16)} \\ ED=\sqrt[]{52} \end{gathered}[/tex]

For AB

A = (3, 6)

B = (9, 10)

[tex]\begin{gathered} AB=\sqrt[]{(9-3)^2+(10-6)^2} \\ AB=\sqrt[]{6^2+4^2} \\ AB=\sqrt[]{36+16} \\ AB=\sqrt[]{52} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now, AB is equaled to ED

Side-Angle-Side is a rule used to prove whether a given set of triangles are congruent. The SAS rule states that: If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
