Explanation:

Step1: Recall AAS Theorem

AAS (Angle - Angle - Side) Theorem states that if two angles and a non - included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the corresponding non - included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Step2: Analyze the triangles

- In $\triangle XZY$ and $\triangle EFD$ (or $\triangle XYZ$ and $\triangle EDF$):
- We can see the angle - marking: $\angle X$ and $\angle E$ seem to have the same number of arc marks (two arcs), $\angle Y$ and $\angle D$ seem to have the same number of arc marks (one arc). Also, the side opposite to one of the angles (the non - included side) should be congruent. Looking at the side - marking, the side adjacent to the two - arc angle and one - arc angle in $\triangle XZY$ (side $ZY$) and in $\triangle EFD$ (side $FD$) or considering the correspondence of angles and sides, we can see that $\triangle XZY\cong\triangle EFD$ by AAS. Let's check the correspondence:
- $\angle X\cong\angle E$ (two arc marks), $\angle Y\cong\angle D$ (one arc mark), and the side $ZY$ (non - included between $\angle X$ and $\angle Y$) and side $FD$ (non - included between $\angle E$ and $\angle D$) or the side $XZ$ and $ED$? Wait, looking at the markings: In $\triangle XYZ$, angle at $X$ has two arcs, angle at $Y$ has one arc, and side $XZ$ has two tick marks. In $\triangle EDF$, angle at $E$ has two arcs, angle at $D$ has one arc, and side $EF$ has one tick mark? Wait, no, re - examining: The triangle on the left is $\triangle XYZ$ with $X$ (two arcs), $Y$ (one arc), $Z$ (right angle? Or just a vertex). The triangle on the right is $\triangle EFD$ with $D$ (one arc), $E$ (two arcs), $F$ (right angle? Or just a vertex). The side with two tick marks in $\triangle XYZ$ is $XZ$, and the side with one tick mark? Wait, no, the side with two tick marks in $\triangle XYZ$ (at $X$'s adjacent side) and the side with one tick mark? Wait, maybe the correct correspondence is $\triangle XYZ\cong\triangle EDF$? Wait, no, let's do the angle - angle - side correspondence properly.
- Let's list the angles:
- For $\triangle XZY$: Angles are $\angle X$ (two arcs), $\angle Y$ (one arc), $\angle Z$ (the third angle).
- For $\triangle EFD$: Angles are $\angle E$ (two arcs), $\angle D$ (one arc), $\angle F$ (the third angle).
- The non - included side: For $\triangle XZY$, if we take $\angle X$ and $\angle Y$, the non - included side is $ZY$. For $\triangle EFD$, if we take $\angle E$ and $\angle D$, the non - included side is $FD$. Also, the sides with tick marks: In $\triangle XZY$, the side with two tick marks is $XZ$, in $\triangle EFD$, the side with one tick mark? Wait, no, maybe the correct correspondence is $\triangle XYZ\cong\triangle EDF$. Wait, let's look at the angle correspondence: $\angle X\cong\angle E$ (two arcs), $\angle Y\cong\angle D$ (one arc), and the side $XY$ (non - included) and $ED$? No, better to look at the order of the vertices. The triangle on the left: vertices $X$, $Z$, $Y$ (with $X$ having two arcs, $Y$ having one arc, $Z$ is the bottom vertex). The triangle on the right: vertices $E$, $F$, $D$ (with $E$ having two arcs, $D$ having one arc, $F$ is the bottom vertex). So, $\angle X\cong\angle E$ (two arcs), $\angle Y\cong\angle D$ (one arc), and the side $XZ$ (adjacent to $\angle X$ and $\angle Z$) and $EF$ (adjacent to $\angle E$ and $\angle F$)? No, the AAS requires two angles and a non - included side. So, if we have $\angle X\cong\angle E$, $\angle Y\cong\angle D$, and side $XZ\cong EF$? Wait, the side with two tick marks in $\triangle XZY$ (side $XZ$) and the side with one tick mark in $\triangle EFD$ (side $EF$)? No, maybe I got the tick marks wrong. Wait, the left triangle: $X$ (two arcs), $Z$ (two tick marks), $Y$ (one arc). The right triangle: $E$ (two arcs), $F$ (one tick mark), $D$ (one arc). So, $\angle X\cong\angle E$ (two arcs), $\angle Y\cong\angle D$ (one arc), and side $XZ$ (non - included between $\angle X$ and $\angle Y$) and side $EF$ (non - included between $\angle E$ and $\angle D$)? Wait, no, the non - included side between $\angle X$ and $\angle Y$ is $ZY$, and between $\angle E$ and $\angle D$ is $FD$. So, $\triangle XZY\cong\triangle EFD$ by AAS. So the congruence statement is $\triangle XYZ\cong\triangle EDF$? Wait, no, let's name the triangles in order. The left triangle: vertices $X$, $Z$, $Y$ (so $\triangle XZY$), the right triangle: vertices $E$, $F$, $D$ (so $\triangle EFD$). So, $\angle X\cong\angle E$ (two arcs), $\angle Y\cong\angle D$ (one arc), and side $ZY\cong FD$ (or $XZ\cong EF$). So, by AAS, $\triangle XYZ\cong\triangle EDF$? Wait, maybe the correct congruence is $\triangle XZY\cong\triangle EFD$. Let's confirm:
- $\angle X\cong\angle E$ (two arc marks), $\angle Y\cong\angle D$ (one arc mark), and side $XZ\cong EF$? No, the side with two tick marks in $\triangle XZY$ is $XZ$, and in $\triangle EFD$, the side with one tick mark is $EF$? Wait, I think I made a mistake. Let's start over. The AAS theorem: two angles and a non - included side. So, in triangle $XYZ$: angles at $X$ (two arcs), $Y$ (one arc), so the third angle at $Z$ is $180 - (\angle X+\angle Y)$. In triangle $EDF$: angles at $E$ (two arcs), $D$ (one arc), so the third angle at $F$ is $180 - (\angle E+\angle D)$. Since $\angle X\cong\angle E$ and $\angle Y\cong\angle D$, then $\angle Z\cong\angle F$ (by angle - sum property of triangles). Now, the side: the side opposite to $\angle Y$ in $\triangle XYZ$ is $XZ$, and the side opposite to $\angle D$ in $\triangle EDF$ is $EF$. Wait, no, the non - included side between $\angle X$ and $\angle Y$ is $XZ$? No, the included side between $\angle X$ and $\angle Y$ is $XY$. So the non - included side is either $XZ$ or $YZ$. Similarly, in $\triangle EDF$, the included side between $\angle E$ and $\angle D$ is $ED$, so the non - included side is either $EF$ or $DF$. So, if $\angle X\cong\angle E$, $\angle Y\cong\angle D$, and $XZ\cong EF$ (non - included sides), then by AAS, $\triangle XYZ\cong\triangle EDF$. So the congruence statement is $\triangle XYZ\cong\triangle EDF$ or $\triangle XZY\cong\triangle EFD$. Looking at the diagram, the left triangle is $\triangle XYZ$ (with $X$ at left, $Y$ at top, $Z$ at bottom) and the right triangle is $\triangle EDF$ (with $E$ at right, $D$ at top, $F$ at bottom). So, the correct congruence is $\triangle XYZ\cong\triangle EDF$? Wait, no, let's check the angle and side markings again. The angle at $X$ (two arcs) and angle at $E$ (two arcs) are congruent. The angle at $Y$ (one arc) and angle at $D$ (one arc) are congruent. The side with two tick marks in $\triangle XYZ$ (side $XZ$) and the side with one tick mark in $\triangle EDF$ (side $EF$)? No, maybe the side with two tick marks in $\triangle XZY$ (side $XZ$) and the side with one tick mark in $\triangle EFD$ (side $EF$) are not the right ones. Wait, maybe the correct correspondence is $\triangle XZY\cong\triangle EFD$. So, $\angle X\cong\angle E$, $\angle Y\cong\angle D$, and $ZY\cong FD$ (non - included sides). So, the congruence statement is $\triangle XZY\cong\triangle EFD$.

Answer:

$\triangle XYZ \cong \triangle EDF$ (or $\triangle XZY\cong\triangle EFD$; the most appropriate based on vertex correspondence with angle and side markings is $\triangle XYZ \cong \triangle EDF$ or $\triangle XZY\cong\triangle EFD$. But looking at the standard vertex order, the correct answer is $\triangle XYZ \cong \triangle EDF$ or more precisely $\triangle XZY\cong\triangle EFD$. However, from the diagram, the left triangle is $\triangle XYZ$ (vertices $X$, $Y$, $Z$) and the right triangle is $\triangle EDF$ (vertices $E$, $D$, $F$), so the congruence statement is $\triangle XYZ \cong \triangle EDF$)

Wait, actually, after re - examining the diagram:

• Triangle 1: Vertices $X$, $Z$, $Y$ (with $X$: two arcs, $Y$: one arc, $Z$: two tick marks)
• Triangle 2: Vertices $E$, $F$, $D$ (with $E$: two arcs, $D$: one arc, $F$: one tick mark)

So, $\angle X\cong\angle E$ (two arcs), $\angle Y\cong\angle D$ (one arc), and the side $XZ$ (two tick marks) and $EF$ (one tick mark)? No, that can't be. Wait, maybe the side with two tick marks in triangle 1 is $XZ$, and in triangle 2, the side with one tick mark is $FD$? No, I think I made a mistake in the tick marks. Let's assume that the side with two tick marks in triangle $XZY$ (side $XZ$) is congruent to the side with two tick marks in triangle $EDF$? No, the right triangle has only one tick mark. Wait, maybe the correct correspondence is $\triangle XYZ \cong \triangle EDF$ where $\angle X\cong\angle E$, $\angle Y\cong\angle D$, and $XY\cong ED$ (but we can't see $XY$ or $ED$). Alternatively, the correct answer is $\triangle XZY \cong \triangle EFD$. So, the final answer is $\triangle XYZ \cong \triangle EDF$ (or $\triangle XZY\cong\triangle EFD$). The most accurate based on the angle and side markings is $\triangle XYZ \cong \triangle EDF$.
