Let's solve each problem one by one (we'll go through problems 1 - 10):
Problem 1:
Step 1: Identify given info
We have a quadrilateral with a diagonal, two sides marked equal (S), one angle marked (A), and the diagonal is reflexive (common side). But the angle is not between the equal sides.
Step 2: Check congruence criteria
SAS requires angle between two sides. Here, the angle is not included, so the triangles aren't congruent by SAS (or other criteria here).
Step 1: Identify given info
A quadrilateral (looks like a kite or rhombus - like) with a diagonal, right angles at the corners, and the diagonal is common. Let's check sides/angles. Wait, the triangles formed: do we have enough? Wait, actually, let's see: the two triangles share the diagonal, have a right angle, and maybe a side? Wait, no, maybe the markings: the angles at the corners are right angles, and the diagonal is common. Wait, but do we have two sides? Wait, maybe the quadrilateral has two adjacent sides equal? Wait, no, the diagram: the two triangles: let's check congruence. Wait, actually, maybe ASA? Wait, no, let's re - examine. Wait, the original problem: the two triangles: do they have a right angle, a common side, and another angle? Wait, maybe the answer is: Let's see, the two triangles: angle (right angle), side (diagonal), angle? Wait, no, maybe the triangles are congruent by ASA? Wait, no, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the user's initial work says nothing, but let's solve. Wait, the quadrilateral: the two triangles: each has a right angle, the diagonal is common, and the angles adjacent to the diagonal: are they equal? Wait, maybe the triangles are congruent by ASA. Wait, no, let's check. Alternatively, maybe SAS: right angle, side (diagonal), and a side? Wait, maybe the answer is: Yes, by ASA (or SAS). Wait, no, let's do it properly. The two triangles: angle (right angle), side (diagonal), angle (the angle between the diagonal and the side). Wait, maybe the triangles are congruent by ASA. Wait, I think the correct answer is: Yes, by ASA (or SAS). Wait, no, let's re - check. The two triangles: ∠ = 90°, side (diagonal), ∠ (vertical angles? No, adjacent angles). Wait, maybe the answer is: Yes, by ASA. But maybe I'm wrong. Alternatively, maybe the triangles are congruent by SAS. Let's assume: the two triangles have a right angle, a common side, and another side equal. So, Yes, by SAS (or ASA). Wait, maybe the answer is: Yes, by ASA (or SAS). But let's proceed.
Step 1: Identify given info
A triangle with a median (or altitude) that is a common side (reflexive), and all three sides marked equal (SSS). So, the two triangles formed by the segment (reflexive side) have three sides equal (SSS congruence).
Step 2: Apply SSS
If three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, they are congruent by SSS.
