Answer:

The congruence rule is the ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) rule of congruence

The triangle MLP is congruent to triangle MNP

Explanations:

In the figure shown:

The side MP belong to both △MLP and △MNP

Since the two triangles, △MLP and △MNP, have two congruent angles and an included side, △MLP and △MNP are congruent according to the ASA rule.

The ASA rule states that if two angles and an included side of one triangle are congruent to the two angles and an included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are also congruent.
