proven using the stated postulate or theorem.

E. Answer each question completely. (5 points each)

15. When two triangles have the same lengths of sides, does it guarantee that they are also
of the same shape? Explain.

16. When two quadrilaterals have the same lengths of sides, does it guarantee that they are
also of the same shape? Explain.

17. Marge and Paul are each given a set of three sticks measuring 16 cm, 20 cm, and 30 cm.
They are asked to make a triangle using those sticks. Will they end up with two congruent
triangles? Explain.

18. Flora and Joy are each given a set of four sticks measuring 16 cm, 20 cm, 22 cm, and 28
cm. They are asked to make a quadrilateral using those sticks. Will they end up with two
congruent quadrilaterals? Explain.

19. Yanna made a bench as shown below. However, it tends to sway and move a little when
she sits on it. How can she make it more stable without changing the length of any of its sides
or breaking any of its joints? (Hint: Recall that a triangle is a stable structure.)
