Answer: A) AAS

Explanation:

In the given picture we have two triangles ΔVUW and ΔXUY .

WV ≅ YX

∠UYX≅ ∠UYW

Also, it can be seen that ∠XUY and ∠VUW are vertical angles.

[When two lines intersects then they form two pair of angle known as vertical angles ]

Also, Vertical angles are always congruent.

⇒ ∠XUY ≅ ∠VUW

Now , in ΔXUY and ΔVUW, we have

WV ≅ YX

∠UYX≅ ∠UYW

∠XUY ≅ ∠VUW

So by AAS theorem , we have

ΔVUW ≅ ΔXUY

  • AAS theorem says that if two angles and a side of a triangle are congruent to two angles and a side of another triangle then the triangles are said to be congruent.
