I'm not sure if you need the answer or just the steps to start, so I will just give u the steps. First, just take a step back and take it one step at a time. Once you have an idea of how the two triangles are congruent, make 2 columns, one with statements and one with reasons. On the statements side, put given information and what you learn along the way, like if it is given x=y, and y=z, then what you can put down after that is x=z. On the reasons side, put the properties or formulas you used to reach your solution. For instance, if x=y and y=z, x=z by the Transitive property of equality. Proofs are time consuming, tedious and utterly frustrating. Just take it slowly and you will be fine.
