Use the given coordinates to determine if B A C D F E
Structural Support Explain why the bench with the diagonal support is stable, while the one without the support can collapse.
SOLUTION The bench with a diagonal support forms triangles with fixed side lengths. By the SSS Congruence Postulate, these triangles cannot change shape, so the bench is stable. The bench without a diagonal support is not stable because there are many possible quadrilaterals with the given side lengths.
Determine whether the figure is stable. Explain your reasoning. SOLUTION The figure is without a diagonal support is not stable Because there are many possible quadrilaterals with the given side lengths.
SOLUTION The diagonal support forms triangle with fixed side length by SSS congruence postulate, these triangles can not change shape. The figure is stable.
7. SOLUTION
Postulate 20: Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Congruence Postulate • If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
Not enough The angle must be between the two congruent sides!

Theorem 4.5: Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) Congruence Theorem • If the hypotenuse and leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and leg of a second right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
