congruence postulate

Answered by maham237 @ 25/12/2020

AC is perpendicular to BD.

Further explanation

We observe that both the ABC triangle and the ADC triangle have the same AC side length. Therefore we know that $\boxed{ \ \overline{AC} \cong \overline{AC} \ }$ is reflexive.
The length of the base of the triangle is the same, i.e., $\boxed{ \ \overline{BC} = \overline{CD} \ }$ .
In order to prove the triangles congruent using the SAS congruence postulate, we need the other information, namely $\boxed{ \ AC \bot BD \ }$ . Thus we get ∠ACB = ∠ACD = 90°.

Conclusions for the SAS Congruent Postulate from this problem:

$\boxed{ \ \overline{BC} = \overline{CD} \ }$
∠ACB = ∠ACD
$\boxed{ \ \overline{AC} = \overline{AC} \ }$

The following is not other or additional information along with the reasons.

∠CBA = ∠CDA no, because that is AAS with ∠ACB = ∠ACD and $\boxed{ \ \overline{AC} \cong \overline{AC} \ }$
∠BAC = ∠DAC no, because that is ASA with $\boxed{ \ \overline{AC} \cong \overline{AC} \ }$ and ∠ACB = ∠ACD.
$\boxed{ \ \overline{BC} = \overline{CD} \ }$ no, because already marked.

Notes

The SAS (Side-Angle-Side) postulate for the congruent triangles: two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle; the included angle properly represents the angle formed by two sides.
The ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) postulate for the congruent triangles: two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle; the included side properly represents the side between the vertices of the two angles.
The SSS (Side-Side-Side) postulate for the congruent triangles: all three sides in one triangle are congruent to the corresponding sides within the other.
The AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) postulate for the congruent triangles: two pairs of corresponding angles and a pair of opposite sides are equal in both triangles.
