Problem 67 of 7
Explain why SSA information two sides and an angle opposite one of them match is not a valid congruence criterion.
Using a hint is okay. It just tells the trainer to give you a little more review.

Your answer is equivalent to the expected form.
Walkthrough
Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Identify that the angle is not included between the two sides.
2. Explain that this can allow two possible triangle shapes.
3. Conclude SSA does not guarantee congruence.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
Saying SSA is valid for all triangles.
