Answer: SSS

Explanation:

In the given picture we have two triangles
\triangle{LON} and
\triangle{LMN} in which


\overline{LO}\cong\overline{LM}\ \ \ \text{[Given]}\\\\\overline{ON}\cong\overline{MN}\ \ \ \text{[Given]}\\\\\overline{LN}\cong\overlien{LN}\ \ \ \text{[Reflexive Property]}

Thus by SSS congruence criteria we have,


\triangle{LON}\cong\triangle{LMN}

  • SSS congruence criteria says that if all three sides of a triangle are congruent to the corresponding sides of the other triangle then the triangle are congruent.
