A student is checking whether the design she drew is symmetric. Can she determine whether MN and PN are the same length? Explain. N. R ..... Choose the correct answer below. O A. No. In order to show MN PN, ASMN must be congruent to AUNP. The only criterion that can be found for ASMN and AUNP is SSA, which is not a congruence criterion. O B. Yes. By SAS, ARST AQUT, and therefore ST UT. So RP QM, and by ASA, ARNP AQNM, which means that MN E PN. O C. Yes. By SAS, ARST AQUT, and therefore ST UT. So RU QS, and by ASA, ARUN AQSN. Therefore, SN UN and ASMN AUNP by SSA, which means that MN PN. O D. No. In order to show MN PN, ARNP must be shown to be congruent to AQNM, and that cannot be done by any congruence criterion.

Q
Choose the correct answer below.
O A. No. In order to show MN PN, ASMN must be congruent to UNP. The only criterion that can be found for ASMN
and AUNP is SSA, which is not a congruence criterion.
O B. Yes. By SAS, ARST EAQUT, and therefore ST UT. So RP QM, and by ASA, ARNP =AQNM, which means
that MN PN.
O C. Yes. By SAS, ARST AQUT, and therefore ST UT. So RU QS, and by ASA, ARUN =AQSN. Therefore,
SN UN and ASMN 2 AUNP by SSA, which means that MN PN.
O D. No. In order to show MN = PN, A RNP must be shown to be congruent to AQNM, and that cannot be done by any
congruence criterion.
