In XYZ, mX=90 and mY=30.In TUV,mU= 30 and mV=60. Which is true about the two triangles? XYZ=TUV, XYZ= VUT,No congruency statement can be made because only two angles in each triangle are known, No congruency statement can be made because the side length are unknown.

Answer:

No congruency statement can be made because the side length are unknown.

Explanation:

The sum of the measures of all interior angles in a triangle is always 180°.

In triangle XYZ,


m\angle X=90^(\circ)\\ \\m\angle Y=30^(\circ),

then


m\angle X+m\angle Y+m\angle Z=180^(\circ)\Rightarrow m\angle Z=180^(\circ)-90^(\circ)-30^(\circ)=60^(\circ)

In triangle TUV,


m\angle U=30^(\circ)\\\\m\angle V=60^(\circ),

then


m\angle T+m\angle U+m\angle V=180^(\circ)\Rightarrow m\angle T=180^(\circ)-30^(\circ)-60^(\circ)=90^(\circ)

We have two triangles with congruent angles but we have no information about side lengths. Therefore, can not be made because the side length are unknown. Correct option is last option.
