The correct congruence statement is SSS, or Side-Side-Side. We see that lines QD and MC are equivalent, QJ and MW are equivalent, and lines DJ and CW are equivalent

Answer: SSS congruence postulate

Explanation:

In the given picture , we have two triangles
\triangle{QDJ}\text{ and}\triangle{MCW}.

In
\triangle{QDJ}\text{ and}\triangle{MCW}, we have


\overline{QJ}\cong\overline{MW}\\\\\overline{DJ}\cong\overline{CW}\\\\\overline{QD}\cong\overline{MC}

Then by SSS congruence postulate , we have


\triangle{QDJ}\cong\triangle{MCW}

SSS congruence postulate says that any two triangles are congruent if all three sides in first triangle are congruent to the corresponding sides in the second.
