Question

Triangles △ABC and △DEF are placed in a coordinate plane, where:  

- A(1, 2), B(4, 6), C(7, 2)

- D(3, -1), E(6, 3), F(9, -1)  

To determine whether △ABC ≅ △DEF, we compute the side lengths using the distance formula:  

 

After performing the calculations, which of the following conclusions is correct?  

Options

A
    △ABC ≅ △DEF by SSS  
B
    △ABC and △DEF are similar but not necessarily congruent  
C
    △ABC and △DEF have the same perimeter but are not congruent  
D
    More information is needed to conclude congruence
