To determine the pairs of congruent corresponding angles between the two triangles △MNO and △RTS, we can first list the angles in each triangle based on the provided measures:

For triangle △MNO:

  • m∠M = 78°
  • m∠N = 34°
  • m∠O = 68°

For triangle △RTS:

  • m∠R = 78°
  • m∠S = 68°
  • m∠T = 34°

Now, we can match the angles:

  1. ∠M (78°) in △MNO corresponds to ∠R (78°) in △RTS: ∠M ≅ ∠R
  2. ∠N (34°) in △MNO corresponds to ∠T (34°) in △RTS: ∠N ≅ ∠T
  3. ∠O (68°) in △MNO corresponds to ∠S (68°) in △RTS: ∠O ≅ ∠S

Thus, the correct description of the pairs of congruent corresponding angles is:

∠M ≅ ∠R, ∠N ≅ ∠T, ∠O ≅ ∠S
