Answer:

A (First One)

Explanation:

Side AC Is Congruent By Side DF

Side CB Is Congruent By Side FE

Side AB Is Congruent By Side DE

(There's no angles shown so it can't be the second option.)

The diagram has lines on the sides, if it we're SAS then the triangle would have an angle.

Answer:

ΔABC≅ΔDEF by SSS Postulate

Explanation:

Hi there!

We are given 2 triangles

And we want to prove them congruent

You may notice that AC and FD have the same tick markings, AB and ED have the same tick markings, and CB and FE have the same tick markings

This means that those sides are congruent

In other words,

AC≅FD

AB≅DE

CB≅FE

If we have 3 pairs of congruent sides, that is enough for one concurrency postulate called side-side-side (SSS), which states that if 3 sides of a triangle are congruent to 3 sides in another triangle, then those triangles are congruent

So the triangles are congruent, but we need to put their vertices in the correct order

So if we make the name of the first triangle ABC, then we need to find the corresponding vertices in the second triangle

So let's find those vertices

D is corresponding to A, as they are both in between line segments that have 1 and 2 tick markings on them

E is corresponding to B, as they are both between line segments that have 2 and 3 tick markings on them

And finally, F is corresponding to C, as they are both between line segments that have 1 and 3 tick markings on them

So the name of the second triangle is DEF

ΔABC≅ΔDEF by SSS Posulate

Hope this helps!
