Transcript text: Match each pair of triangles with its congruence rule.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Analyze the first pair of triangles (JMK and KML)
The first pair of triangles shares a side MK. Angles JKM and MKL are congruent, as are angles KJM and KML. Therefore, these triangles are congruent by Angle-Side-Angle (ASA).
Step 2: Analyze the second pair of triangles (NPQ and NQP)
The second pair of triangles shares a side NQ. Sides NP and QP are congruent, as are sides PQ and QN. Therefore, these triangles are congruent by Side-Side-Side (SSS).
Step 3: Analyze the third pair of triangles (JKM and KML)
The third pair of triangles shares a side JM. Sides JK and ML are congruent, as are sides KL and MJ. Therefore, these triangles are congruent by Side-Side-Side (SSS).
Step 4: Analyze the fourth pair of triangles
This figure shows only one triangle, so no congruence rule can apply.
