Question

select the shortcut which can be used to prove this pair of triangles congruent. if no method applies, choose
one.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify vertical angles

Vertical angles are equal. So, the two angles formed by the intersecting lines are congruent.

Step2: Check for parallel - line - related angles

The arrows indicate parallel lines. Using the alternate interior angles theorem, another pair of angles is congruent.

Step3: Check for side - length equality

One pair of sides is marked as equal.

Step4: Apply the AAS (Angle - Angle - Side) congruence criterion

We have two angles and a non - included side (AAS) congruent.

Answer:

AAS (Angle - Angle - Side)
