No, Danny is not correct

Here, we want to check the validity of the claims made by Danny

Firstly he determines that DE and BA are congruent

Secondly, he determines that the angle marked A and E are congruent

To use the SAS conguence definition, there needs to be a third determination. The third determination here is that the sides KE and AC must also be congruent

However, there is no evidence to support the fact that he determined that the sides KE and AC are congruent. Hence he cannot use the SAS congruence thoerem based on the two evidences ONLY

Hence, we can say that Danny is not correct
