Samantha measured two of the angles in APQR and found that they had measures of 65° and 70°. Then, she measured

two of the angles in Axyz and found that they had measures of 65° and 45°. What statement best describes the two
triangles?
The two triangles cannot be congruent because the angle measures are not the same.
O The two triangles are congruent because the angle measures in the two triangles are the same.
The two triangles may be congruent, but additional information is needed about the third angle in each triangle.
The two triangles may be congruent, but additional information is needed about the sides of each triangle.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

you cannot assume a triangle is congruent to another triangle if you are only given 2 angles, as the third angle may be the same, or different. And becuase of the definition of congruency, the line lengths need to be congruent as well in order for any number of triangles to be congruent

hope this helped
