If ∠X≅∠L , ∠P≅∠M , ∠A≅∠K , PA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯≅MK¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ , AX¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯≅KL¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ , and XP¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯≅LM¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ , which option below shows a correct congruence statement?

1 answer

To determine the correct congruence statement based on the given information, we can use the corresponding angles and sides that are congruent.

Given:

  • ∠X ≅ ∠L
  • ∠P ≅ ∠M
  • ∠A ≅ ∠K
  • PA ≅ MK
  • AX ≅ KL
  • XP ≅ LM

Based on this information, we can identify that triangles \( \triangle XPA \) and \( \triangle LMP \) are congruent. The corresponding parts of the triangles are:

  • ∠X corresponds to ∠L
  • ∠P corresponds to ∠M
  • ∠A corresponds to ∠K
  • Side PA corresponds to side MK
  • Side AX corresponds to side KL
  • Side XP corresponds to side LM

Thus, the correct congruence statement for the triangles is:

\[ \triangle XPA \cong \triangle LMP \]

This reflects the congruency of the corresponding angles and sides as given in your information.
