Answer:the answer for part A is SAS.

Explanation:

We already know that side PQ is the same length for both the triangles. We were then given the information that sides PM and PN were equal. So now we already have two sides that are the same. Then we were given the information that angle MPQ and angle NPQ were also equal. So now we have two sides and an angle that are equal. This is how we got SAS (side angle side). I tried my best to explain. I added a photo so you could see what I was trying to explain. Hopefully this helped!
