Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Part (a)

In the first diagram, we have two triangles \( \triangle MNO \) and \( \triangle PQR \) (assuming the other triangle is \( \triangle PQR \)). We check the congruence criteria. The marked angles are right angles (or equal angles) and the sides are marked as equal (vertical angles are equal, and two sides with included angle? Wait, looking at the diagram, \( \angle O \) and \( \angle P \) are equal (right angles), the sides \( NO \) and \( PR \) are equal (marked with ticks), and the vertical angles at the intersection are equal. Wait, maybe \( \triangle MNO \cong \triangle QPR \) by AAS or ASA? Wait, let's re - examine. The angles at \( O \) and \( P \) are equal (let's say \( \angle O=\angle P \)), the sides \( NO \) and \( PR \) are equal (marked), and the vertical angles (let's say \( \angle MON=\angle QPR \) as vertical angles). Wait, maybe it's \( \triangle MNO \cong \triangle QPR \) by AAS. But first, we need to check the congruence. Alternatively, maybe the triangles are \( \triangle MNO \) and \( \triangle PQR \) with \( \angle O=\angle P \), \( NO = PR \), and \( \angle N=\angle R \) (vertical angles). So by ASA, \( \triangle MNO\cong\triangle QPR \)? Wait, maybe the correct triangle is \( \triangle PQN \)? Wait, the diagram shows two triangles intersecting at a point. Let's assume that the other triangle is \( \triangle PQR \) where \( Q \) corresponds to \( M \), \( P \) corresponds to \( O \), and \( R \) corresponds to \( N \). Wait, maybe the answer is \( \triangle MNO\cong\triangle QPR \) by ASA or AAS. But the first option: if we consider the congruence, the correct triangle for \( \triangle MNO \) is \( \triangle QPR \) (or maybe \( \triangle PQR \))? Wait, maybe the first part: the triangles are congruent. Let's check the angles and sides. The angle at \( O \) and \( P \) are equal (marked as right angles), the sides \( NO \) and \( PR \) are equal (marked), and the vertical angles (so \( \angle MON=\angle QPR \)). So by ASA, \( \triangle MNO\cong\triangle QPR \). But the option is "Congruent: \( \triangle MNO\cong\triangle \square \) by...". Let's assume the other triangle is \( \triangle QPR \), so \( \triangle MNO\cong\triangle QPR \) by ASA (Angle - Side - Angle) or AAS (Angle - Angle - Side).

Step2: Analyze Part (b)

For \( \triangle ABC \) and \( \triangle DEF \) (assuming the other triangle is \( \triangle DEF \)). The angle at \( A \) and \( D \) are equal (marked), the angle at \( B \) and \( F \) are equal (marked), and the side \( AB \) and \( DF \) are equal? Wait, the sides \( AB \) and \( DE \)? Wait, the diagram shows \( \triangle ABC \) with \( \angle A=\angle D \), \( \angle B=\angle F \), and the side \( AB \) and \( DF \) (or \( DE \))? Wait, the marked sides: in \( \triangle ABC \), side \( AB \) and \( AC \) (one side marked), and in \( \triangle DEF \), side \( DE \) and \( DF \) (one side marked). Wait, \( \angle A=\angle D \), \( \angle B=\angle F \), and the side \( AB = DF \) (assuming). So by AAS, \( \triangle ABC\cong\triangle DFE \). So \( \triangle ABC\cong\triangle DFE \) by AAS.

Step3: Analyze Part (c)

For \( \triangle UVW \) and \( \triangle XYZ \) (assuming the other triangle is \( \triangle XYZ \)). The sides are marked as equal (two sides) and the angle between them? Wait, the diagram shows a triangle \( UVW \) and \( XYZ \) with two sides marked equal and the included angle? Wait, if two sides and the included angle are equal, then by SAS. Or if two angles and a side, by AAS or ASA. Wait, the triangle \( UVW \) and \( XYZ \): if two sides are equal and the included angle, then \( \triangle UVW\cong\triangle XYZ \) by SAS.

Part (a)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify Congruence Criteria for \( \triangle MNO \)

We observe the triangles \( \triangle MNO \) and \( \triangle QPR \) (assuming the correspondence). We have \( \angle O=\angle P \) (marked angles), \( NO = PR \) (marked sides), and \( \angle N=\angle R \) (vertical angles). By the ASA (Angle - Side - Angle) congruence criterion, \( \triangle MNO\cong\triangle QPR \). So the triangle congruent to \( \triangle MNO \) is \( \triangle QPR \) (or the appropriate - named triangle from the diagram, let's assume it's \( \triangle QPR \)) and the congruence criterion is ASA (or AAS, depending on the exact marking). But if we go with the options, the correct choice for the congruent triangle of \( \triangle MNO \) is \( \triangle QPR \) (or the triangle with vertices \( Q, P, R \)) and the congruence criterion (e.g., ASA). So we select "Congruent: \( \triangle MNO\cong\triangle QPR \) by ASA" (assuming the diagram's markings).

Step2: Select the Correct Option

We choose the "Congruent" option, fill in the triangle (e.g., \( \triangle QPR \)) and the congruence criterion (e.g., ASA).

Part (b)

For \( \triangle ABC \) and \( \triangle DFE \), we have \( \angle A=\angle D \), \( \angle B=\angle F \), and \( AB = DF \) (assuming from the diagram's markings). By the AAS (Angle - Angle - Side) congruence criterion, \( \triangle ABC\cong\triangle DFE \).

Step2: Select the Correct Option

We choose the "Congruent" option, fill in the triangle (e.g., \( \triangle DFE \)) and the congruence criterion (e.g., AAS).

Part (c)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify Congruence Criteria for \( \triangle UVW \)

For \( \triangle UVW \) and \( \triangle XYZ \), we have two sides marked as equal and the included angle equal (assuming from the diagram's markings). By the SAS (Side - Angle - Side) congruence criterion, \( \triangle UVW\cong\triangle XYZ \).

Step2: Select the Correct Option

We choose the "Congruent" option, fill in the triangle (e.g., \( \triangle XYZ \)) and the congruence criterion (e.g., SAS).
