Answer 1

To determine which theorem can be used to prove triangles congruent, we would need more specific information about the characteristics of the triangles in question (e.g., whether you have the lengths of sides or the measures of angles). However, based on the standard congruence theorems, here’s a brief explanation:

1. SSS (Side-Side-Side): All three sides are equal.
2. SAS (Side-Angle-Side): Two sides and the included angle are equal.
3. ASA (Angle-Side-Angle): Two angles and the included side are equal.
4. AAS (Angle-Angle-Side): Two angles and a non-included side are equal.
5. HL (Hypotenuse-Leg): Specifically for right triangles, the hypotenuse and one leg are equal.
6. If none of these conditions are met or you don't have enough information, then it may not be possible to prove congruency.

If you have specific characteristics of the triangles, please provide that information to select the appropriate theorem. Otherwise, I would recommend "Not Possible to prove congruency with the given information" if no additional information is given.
