a) ΔABC ≅ ΔEFD by the AAS (Angle-angle-side) theorem

b) Not necessarily congruent

c) ΔGHI ≅ KLJ by the SSS (side-side-side) theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

a) ∠B = ∠F

∠A = ∠E

∠C = ∠D

Hence, triangle ABC is congruent to triangle EFD

ΔABC ≅ ΔEFD by the AAS (Angle-angle-side) theorem

b) ∠W = ∠X

∠U = ∠Z

∠V = ∠Y

But UW is not equal to XZ, UW is XZ.

Not necessarily congruent

c) GH ≅ KL

GI ≅ JK

HI ≅ JL

Hence, triangle GHI is congruent to triangle KLJ

ΔGHI ≅ KLJ by the SSS (side-side-side) theorem
