Question

which of the following pairs of triangles illustrate the sas criterion for triangle congruence? (1 point)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall SAS criterion

The Side - Angle - Side (SAS) criterion for triangle congruence states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Step2: Analyze each pair

In the first pair of triangles, we can see that two sides of one triangle are marked as congruent to two sides of the other triangle and the included angles between those sides are also congruent. In the second pair, the angles are not the included angles between the marked - congruent sides. In the third pair, the side - length markings do not match up correctly for the SAS criterion.

Answer:

The first pair of triangles.
