Question

determine if the two triangles are congruent. if they are, state how you know. a not enough information b aas c asa d sss e sas

Explanation:

Step1: Identify congruent parts

We see one pair of equal - angles (marked with red arcs) and one pair of equal - sides (marked with double - cross). Also, there is a right - angle in each triangle which is equal (since all right - angles are 90°).

Step2: Recall congruence postulates

The ASA (Angle - Side - Angle) postulate states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. Here, we have two angles and the side between them equal in the two triangles.
