In this case, the information that is explicitly seen in the graph is that we have 2 pairs of equal sides.

The missing information, that can also be seen in the picture, is that we have a shared side that is QY.

If we applied the reflexive property, we know that:


QY\cong QY

and then we know that we have 3 pairs of equal sides, what proves that the triangles are congruent.

Answer: QY = QY (Option A).
