Solution Steps

Step 1: Analyze the given image

The image shows two triangles sharing a common side. Two pairs of corresponding angles are marked congruent by the single and double dashes.

Step 2: Determine the appropriate congruence postulate

Since the triangles share a side, that side is congruent to itself by the reflexive property. Along with the two pairs of congruent angles, this gives us an Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) relationship.

Step 3: Determine the answer to question 19

The triangles are congruent by ASA.

Step 4: Analyze question 20

Statement A: Lines that do not intersect are coplanar. This is not always true. Skew lines do not intersect and are not coplanar. Statement B: The intersection of two planes is a line. This is always true.

Final Answer

  1. C
  2. B
