1) By the SSS postulate we can tell that these two triangles are congruent.

-> What is SSS?

[] When three sides of a triangle are congruent to the three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are said congruent by side-side-side

[] The proof for the assignment

AB = DF, AC = DE, BC = EF | Given

The triangles are congruent | SSS Postulate

2) We can use AAS for these two triangles.

-> What is AAS?

[] When one side and two angles of a triangle are congruent to one side and two angles of another triangle, then the two triangles are said congruent by angle-angle-side

-> How does this apply here?

[] We are given that two angles are congruent to each other, so the angle-angle part is solved for. Since these two triangles share a side, that side will be congruent for each triangle, giving us angle-angle-side

[] The proof for the assignment

Angle T = angle N, angle TAB = angle NAB | Given

AB = AB | Reflexive Property

The triangles are congruent | AAS Postulate

Have a nice day!

I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)
