The other equality which must be stated by Jose is that angles BAC and BAE are congruent and their measures are equal.

<h3>What other congruence statements must Jose state?</h3>

It follows from the task content that Jose is trying to prove the congruence of both triangles by means of the Side-Angle-Side congruence theorem.

It therefore follows that since, Jose has identified that the ratio of corresponding sides are equal as indicated in the task content, the equality which Jose has to state is the angle congruence equality.
