Congruence:Question 9 A 6-foot-tall mirror is leaned against a wall at an angle. A 5- foot-tall mirror is leaned against the same wall at the same angle. Are the triangles formed between the mirror and the wall congruent? Select one: Yes, because the angle is the same for both mirrors. No, because the angle is changed due to the size of the mirror. No, because the length of the side formed by the mirror has changed. Yes, because the wall is the same for both mirrors.
