4. Jeff states that DPLN @ DCVB because of ASA. Nancy says that she knows something that would allow her to use AAS. What does she know that would allow her to use AAS for these triangles? /

5. Explain the case of AS1S2 when S2 is less than S1 where it has two intersections. Why can two triangles be formed?
