Answer:

(a) ∆MNO ≅ ∆JKL

(b) SAS

(c) ∆MNO ≅ ∆JKL

Explanation:

(a) The list of congruence postulates given in part (b) tells you the ways the triangles might be shown congruent.

  • ˙ABC — two sides and an angle are congruent. There is no SSA congruence postulate
  • DEF — two sides are shown congruent. There is no SS congruence postulate
  • GHI — three angles are shown congruent. There is no AA or AAA congruence postulate. (There is an AA similarity postulate.)
  • JKL — two sides and the angle between are shown congruent. The SAS congruence postulate applies. ∆MNO is congruent to ∆JKL.

__

(b) As stated in part A, the SAS congruence postulate applies.

__

(c) The sides and angle correspond when the congruence statement is written ...

∆MNO ≅ ∆JKL

__

M and J are the congruent angles; MN and JK are one pair of congruent sides. Once you get these corresponding letters in order, the remaining vertex name can be added to the end.
