THIS IS ANOTHER QUESTION I HAVE BEEN STUCK ON FOREVER. I THINK IT REQUIRES TOO MUCH THINKING.
PHILLIP WALKED 100 YARDS TO THE EAST WHILE SHONDRA WALKED 155 YARDS TO THE SOUTHEAST. MEANWHILE, 200 YARDS TO THE NORTH, JOSE WALKED 155 YARDS TO THE WEST AND LUYIN WALKED 100 YARDS TO THE NORTHWEST. THE ANGLE FORMED BETWEEN THE WALKING PATHS OF PHILLIP AND SHONDRA IS CONGRUENT TO THE ANGLE FORMED BETWEEN THE WALKING PATHS OF JOSE AND LUYIN. IF PHILLIP AND SHONDRA ARE NOW 110 YARDS APART, HOW FAR APART ARE JOSE AND LUYIN? HOW DO YOU KNOW?
A. 110 YARDS: SAS CONGRUENCE POSTULATE
B. 310 YARDS: SSS CONGRUENCE POSTULATE
C. 310 YARDS: SAS CONGRUENCE POSTULATE
D. 110 YARDS: SSS CONGRUENCE POSTULATE

I think I would draw this on a a grid.
It helps to draw a picture. The sides of the triangle are congruent, and the angle is also congruent, so by SAS (Side-Angle-Side) Congruence, they are also 110 yards apart.
