Question

use the congruence markings to determine whether the triangles are congruent, similar, or neither. state the triangle congruence criterion connected to the pair of triangles that are congruent or similar.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify congruence markings

The first triangle has one - marked side and one - marked angle. The second triangle has two - marked sides and one - marked angle.

Step2: Apply congruence criteria

We have two sides and the included angle of one triangle equal to two sides and the included angle of the other triangle. This is the Side - Angle - Side (SAS) congruence criterion.

Step3: Determine similarity or congruence

Since the corresponding sides and the included angle are equal, the triangles are congruent.

Answer:

The triangles are congruent by the Side - Angle - Side (SAS) congruence criterion.
