Given Information
- AB = AC
- AD = AE
- ∠A = ∠A (Reflexive Property)
Congruence Theorem
- Side-Side-Side (SSS)
- Angle-Side-Angle (ASA)
- Angle-Angle-Side (AAS)
- Side-Angle-Side (SAS)
Missing Reason
- The missing reason is needed to complete the proof of congruency of two triangles, which will prove further congruencies with the given information.
