- $\overline{A R} \cong \overline{A Q}$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify Given Information
The problem states the following:
∠R≅∠Q
∠S≅∠T
Step 2: Analyze the Triangles
Given the congruent angles, we can infer that triangles △RAS and △QAT are isosceles triangles with the following properties:
∠R=∠Q
∠S=∠T
Step 3: Evaluate Each Option
We need to determine which of the given options may not be true based on the given information.
∠2=∠3
This is true because ∠2 and ∠3 are corresponding angles in the isosceles triangles.
RS=TQ
This is true because RS and TQ are corresponding sides in the isosceles triangles.
∠5=∠6
This is true because ∠5 and ∠6 are corresponding angles in the isosceles triangles.
AR≅AQ
This may not be true because there is no information given that AR and AQ are congruent.
