Answer to Problem 24HP
SSA (Side-Side-Angle) cannot be used to prove the congruence of two triangles.
Explanation of Solution
To find a counterexample, show a set of triangles with corresponding SSA congruence and thenshow that at least one pair of the other
If SSA was a valid congruencetheorem, then each pair of corresponding angles would be congruent.
Consider
From the above figure,
However,
Thus, SSA (Side-Side-Angle) cannot be used to prove the congruence of two triangles.
