Question

Which postulate or theorem proves that these two triangles are congruent?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given picture,

Given:

Two lines PM and QR are intersecting each other at a point N.

∠NMR ≅ ∠NPQ

NR ≅ QN

To prove:

ΔMNR ≅ ΔPNQ

              Statements                               Reasons

1). NR ≅ QN                                 1). Given

2). ∠NMR ≅ ∠NPQ                     2). Given

3). ∠MNR ≅ ∠PNQ                     3). Definition of vertical angles

4). ΔMNR ≅ ΔPNQ                     4). AAS theorem of congruence

Therefore, Option (B) will be the correct option.
