To prove that triangles \( \Delta RTJ \) and \( \Delta NDF \) are congruent by the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) postulate, you need two angles and the included side.

Given:

  1. \( RT \cong ND \) (the sides are congruent)
  2. \( \angle R \cong \angle N \) (one pair of angles is congruent)

You need one more angle congruence. The most fitting choice would be:

∠J ≅ ∠F

This would provide the second pair of angles needed for congruence using the ASA postulate, along with the congruent sides \( RT \) and \( ND \).
