Problem 6: ASA
Step1: Recall ASA Criterion
ASA (Angle - Side - Angle) congruence requires two angles and the included side to be equal. In the diagram with triangles \( \triangle KIE \) and \( \triangle FDE \) (assuming the intersection at \( E \)), we know \( \angle I=\angle D \) (right angles or marked angles) and \( \angle KEI=\angle FED \) (vertical angles).
Step2: Identify Missing Part
To apply ASA, we need the included side between the two angles. So we need \( EI = DE \) (or the sides forming the vertical angles with the equal angles) to have the included side equal.
Step1: Recall AAS Criterion
AAS (Angle - Angle - Side) congruence requires two angles and a non - included side to be equal. In the diagram with triangles \( \triangle ABC \) and \( \triangle FBE \) (intersecting at \( B \)), we know \( \angle A=\angle F \) (maybe from the diagram) and \( \angle ABC=\angle FBE \) (vertical angles).
Step2: Identify Missing Part
We need a non - included side. For example, if we consider angles at \( A, B \) in \( \triangle ABC \) and at \( F, B \) in \( \triangle FBE \), we need \( AC = FE \) (a non - included side) to apply AAS.
Step1: Recall SAS Criterion
SAS (Side - Angle - Side) congruence requires two sides and the included angle to be equal. In triangles \( \triangle VWU \) and \( \triangle KML \), we know one side is marked equal (e.g., \( VU = ML \)) and we need the included angle and another side. The included angle is \( \angle V \) and \( \angle K \), so we need \( \angle V=\angle K \) and \( VW = KM \) (or \( VU = ML \) is already marked, so we need the included angle \( \angle V=\angle K \) and another side like \( VW = KM \)) to apply SAS.
Step2: Identify Missing Part
We need \( \angle V=\angle K \) (the included angle) and \( VW = KM \) (the other side) to satisfy SAS.
