Decide whether enough information is given to prove that △RSV≅△UTV. If so, state the theorem you would use.

In the diagram we are given that angle S = angle T

We are given that side SV = side TV

We know that vertical angles are equal so angle RVT = angle UVT

WE have 2 angles and the included side so we can use the ASA Congruence theorem which states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

There is enough information to use the ASA Congruence Theorem.
