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 angles (marked with red arcs) and one pair of sides (marked with double - red lines) are congruent. Also, the vertical angles at the intersection of the non - marked sides are congruent.

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 pairs of angles and the included side between them are congruent.
