Given the triangles CDE and JLM

For the triangles we have the following:

1) CD = JL

2) CE = JM

3) DE = LM

So, there 3 pairs of congruent sides

So, the triangles are congrurent by S.S.S ( Side-Side-Side) postulate

C is corresponding to J

D is corresponding to L

E is corresponding to M

So,


\triangle\text{CDE}\cong\triangle\text{JLM}

For marking the triangles, see the following figure:
