Answer:

SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, HL

Explanation:

1. SSS (side side side) says if 3 sides of one triangle are congruent to 3 sides of another triangle, then the 2 triangles are congruent.

2. SAS (side angle side) says if 2 sides and the included angle of a triangle are congruent to 2 sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the 2 triangles are congruent.

3. ASA (angle side angle) says if 2 angles and the included side of a triangle are congruent to 2 angles and the included side of another triangle, then the 2 triangles are congruent.

4. AAS (angle angle side) says if 2 angles and the none included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the 2 triangles are congruent.

5 HL (hypotenuse leg) says if 2 right triangles that have a congruent hypotenuse and a corresponding congruent leg, then the 2 triangles are congruent.

Because it is a rectangle, the sides are equal, and they share the same hypotenuse.
