Answer: ∠C ≅ ∠E


Explanation:

If Δ ABC is congruent to Δ DEF, then its corresponding parts must be congruent.

segment AB ≅ segment DE [first two letters]

segment BC ≅ segment EF [last two letters]

segment AC ≅ segment DF[first and last letters]

∠A ≅ ∠D [first letter]

∠B ≅ ∠E [mid letter]

∠C ≅ ∠F [last letter]

so from the given options, the only statement that is not true is ∠C ≅ ∠E.
