Answer: E) Not enough information

We're given two pairs of congruent sides, and a pair of congruent angles. The angles are not between the two congruent sides. So we don't have enough information to know if the triangles are congruent or not. SSA is not a valid congruence theorem. This is because there are some cases where two triangles are possible leading to ambiguity.

If the marked angles were between the tickmarked sides, then we could use SAS.
