Answer:

The two triangles are related by Side-Side-Side (SSS), so the triangles can be proven congruent.

Explanation:

There are no angles that can be shown to be congruent to one another, so this eliminates all answer choices with angles (SSA, SAS, ASA, AAA, AAS).

This leaves you with either the HL (Hypotenuse-Leg) Theorem or SSS (Side-Side-Side) Theorem. We could claim that the triangles can be proven congruent by HL, however, we aren't exactly sure as to whether or not the triangles have a right angle. There is no indicator, and in this case, we cannot assume so.

This leaves you with the SSS Theorem.
