Math Problem Statement

Which two triangles are congruent? Complete the congruence statement.

Solution

In this question, we are asked to identify the two congruent triangles and complete the congruence statement.

To determine which triangles are congruent, let's examine the triangles’ sides and angles:

  1. Triangle TRS has two sides marked as congruent and one angle marked with a congruent symbol.
  2. Triangle EFG also has the same markings in corresponding locations.
  3. Triangle ZXY does not have markings that correspond to either of the first two triangles.

From these markings, Triangle TRS is congruent to Triangle EFG. They both share two equal sides and an included angle in the same relative positions, which aligns with the SAS (Side-Angle-Side) congruence theorem.

Answer:

The congruent statement should be completed as: TRSEFG\triangle TRS \cong \triangle EFG
