Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the given information

We are given that \(\overline{XW}\cong\overline{LD}\), \(\overline{TW}\parallel\overline{LK}\), and \(\angle MWX\cong\angle NLD\). We need to find the triangle congruent to \(\triangle XDL\).

Step2: Use the properties of parallel lines

Since \(\overline{TW}\parallel\overline{LK}\), we can use the alternate - interior angles theorem. \(\angle WXD\cong\angle LDK\) (alternate - interior angles).

Step3: Apply the ASA (Angle - Side - Angle) congruence criterion

We have \(\overline{XW}\cong\overline{LD}\) (given), \(\angle MWX\cong\angle NLD\) (given), and \(\angle WXD\cong\angle LDK\) (from parallel lines).
By the ASA congruence criterion, \(\triangle XDL\cong\triangle WXD\)

Answer:

\(\triangle WXD\)
