Answer:

You can prove that these triangles are congruent by SSS axiom.

Explanation:

  1. The co-ordinates of points of triangle ABC are: A(-3,4), B(-4,1), C(0,3).
  2. Measure the length of every side of triangle ABC and DEF by using distance formula i.e. AB, BC, AC, DF, DE and EF.
  3. The co-ordinates of points of triangle DEF are: D(0,2), E(3,1), F(2,-2).
  4. By calculating the distance you can see that, BC=DF, AB=DE=AC=EF.
  5. Hence all three sides are equal that means the triangles are congruent by the SSS (side-side-side) axiom.
