I would love some help! What needs to be done here is determine whether there is enough information to show that the triangles are congruent using SAS Congruence Theorem. If the answer is yes, write a congruence statement, make sure the notation is correct.

You have the next:

- Sides JK and LK are congruent:


JK\cong LK

-Angles MKJ and MKL are congruent:


\angle MKJ\cong\angle MKL

-Side MK is part of both triangles.

Then, as angle MKJ is between sides JL and MK, angle MKL is between sides LK and MK:


\Delta JMK\cong\Delta LMK\text{ by SAS}Triangles JMK and LMK are congruent by SAS (side, angle, side)
