Is triangle MNL congruent to triangle QNL? Why or why not? Yes, they are congruent by either ASA or AAS. Yes, they are both right triangles. No, angle M is not congruent to angle NLQ. No, there are no congruent sides.

See the attached figure which represent the rest of the question.
The rest of the question is the attached figure.
==============================================
As shown in the attached figure:
(1) ΔMNL is a right triangle at ∠MNL and ∠NML = 58°
∴ ∠L = 180° - (90°+58°) = 32°

(2) ΔQNL is a right triangle at ∠QNL and ∠QLN = 32°
∴ ∠Q = 180° - (90°+32°) = 58°

So, for both of ΔMNL and ΔQNL
1. ∠NLM = ∠ NLQ = 32°
2. ∠Q = ∠M = 58°
3. side NL = side NL
∴ ΔMNL is congruent to ΔQNL by AAS

So, for both of ΔMNL and ΔQNL
1. ∠MNL = ∠QNL = 90°
2. side NL = side NL
3. ∠NLM = ∠ NLQ = 32°
∴ ΔMNL is congruent to ΔQNL by ASA

=====================================
So, the correct answer is the first option

Yes, they are congruent by either ASA or AAS
