Answer PART 1 and PART 2

Transcribed Image Text:For the diagram below, complete the congruence statement: \( \triangle BAC \cong \) _____
There are two right triangles shown:
1. **Triangle BAC**:
- A right triangle with the right angle at vertex B.
- Sides: \( AB \), \( BC \), and hypotenuse \( AC \).
- \( AB \) is perpendicular to \( BC \), forming the right angle.
- Two sides, \( AB \) and \( AC \), are marked with a single congruence tick.
2. **Triangle XYZ**:
- A right triangle with the right angle at vertex Y.
- Sides: \( XY \), \( YZ \), and hypotenuse \( XZ \).
- \( XY \) is perpendicular to \( YZ \), forming the right angle.
- Two sides, \( XY \) and \( XZ \), are marked with a single congruence tick.
Given these triangles, the task is to determine which triangle \( BAC \) is congruent to, using the side and angle markings.
Options to choose from:
- \( \triangle XZY \)
- \( \triangle YZX \)
- \( \triangle YXZ \)
- \( \triangle XYZ \)

Transcribed Image Text:**Question:**
What does it mean to say that two triangles are congruent?
**Options:**
- The angles in the first triangle are congruent to the angles in the second triangle.
- The corresponding sides and angles are congruent.
- The sides of the first triangle are congruent to the sides of the second triangle.
- They look the same when drawn on paper.
