Explanation:

For two triangles to be congruent, they either need to have three respectively equal sides (SSS), two respectively equal signs with the same angle between them (SAS), two same angles with a respectively equal side between them (ASA), or for a right-angled triangel, a respectively equal hypotenuse and side (RHS).

Here we have the triangles ΔABC and ΔCDE. We know DC is equal to BC because they are marked as such, same for AC and EC. We also know <ACB = <DCE because they are vertically opposite angles. Since we have two triangles with equal sides and the same angle between these sides (SAS), we can say these triangles are congruent.
