Answer: They are congruent by AAS

AAS is the same as SAA

The arcs shown indicate those angles are congruent. Another pair of congruent angles are the vertical angles formed by the X crossing. That's two "A"s so far. The tickmarks of the segments mean those segments are the same length. So this is why we can use AAS here.
