Proof by contradiction
Steps
- Assume your statement to be false.
- Proceed as you would with a direct proof.
- Come across a contradiction.
- State that because of the contradiction, it can't be the case that the statement is false, so it must be true.
We are going to assume in all the scenarios that we can NOT create a triangle with the given information.
If we can not create a differnt triangle, than we know that the information given is enough to create congruent triangles
If we are able to create a different triangle than we know that we can not create congruent triangles with that information.
