Answer:

Congruent pairs of triangles:

ΔABD ≅ ΔDCB

  • AB≅CD - given
  • ∠ABD ≅ ∠CDB - given
  • BD≅DB - common side
  • SAS - two sides and the included angle

ΔABD ≅ ΔEFD - SAS

  • AB≅EF - given
  • ∠ABD ≅ ∠EFD - given
  • ∠ADB ≅ ∠EDF - vertical angles
  • AAS - two angles and non-included side

By using the above two we can state that:

ΔBDC ≅ ΔDFE - by ASA or SSS

because

  • BD ≅ DF (corresponding parts)
  • AD ≅ BC (corresponding parts)
  • AD ≅ ED (corresponding parts)
  • and therefore BC ≅ ED

We can't prove that:

  • ΔAGD is congruent with any of the others as not enough information

There is one side and one angle and we can' t get two angles or two sides with included angle. Maximum we can get is SSA which doesn't guarantee the congruence.
