Answer 1

To determine which parallelogram's triangles can be proven congruent using the AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) criterion, we would need to analyze the triangle formations in each parallelogram provided.

For a pair of triangles to be congruent by AAS, we need to show that we have two angles and the included side (the side between the two designated angles) of one triangle congruent to the corresponding two angles and included side of the other triangle.

**1. QRSP:** If triangles formed within this parallelogram show two angles congruent and the side between those angles also congruent to the corresponding side in the other triangle, they can be proven congruent using AAS.

**2. WZYX:** Similar analysis can be applied as with QRSP; check angle and side congruencies.

**3. ABCD:** Perform the same checks for angle and side congruencies to determine potential AAS congruence.

**4. JKLM:** Again, verify the triangle properties as described above.

Without seeing the actual diagram and given that we have general information:

- Look for two angles and a side in one triangle of a parallelogram that correspond to two angles and a side in another triangle in the same parallelogram.

If you can visualize or have access to the images, go through each parallelogram to identify which one meets the AAS criteria.

If you can narrow it down based on congruent angles and a side being the same (AAS), that is your answer.

Typically, parallelograms have symmetrical properties that may simplify finding such congruencies.

If you'd like to confirm with a specific parallelogram, please refer to the properties of those triangles formed within it.
