Answer:

B. 3 triangles are congruent to ABC

Explanation:

  • 2 triangles are congruent if all corresponding side lengths are equal, or using SAS (Side-Angle-Side theorem) to confirm 2 corresponding sides & the included angle is equal those of another triangle.

From the picture, triangle ABC is not a right triangle. The length of AB is graphed with a length of 4. From point C to segment AB is a height of 3. The triangle in quadrant I (top right) has both of these dimensions.

Similarly, the triangle on the x-axis (positive side) below it (between Q1 and Q4) is also congruent to ABC.

The triangle fully in quadrant III (bottom left) is congruent to ABC with a height of 3 and base length of 4.

The triangle in the bottom right corner (Q4) has a height of 4, therefore it is not congruent to ABC which has a height of 3.

The triangle on the x-axis (negative left side) is also not congruent to ABC. It may have a height of 3 and base length 4, but the angles are different which means the other side lengths don't correspond to ABC.

[+ I'm not sure if your teacher would consider this a real answer but I figured I'd mention that in proofs tri.ABC is also congruent to tri.ABC.]
