The correct answer is option B which is we need ∠L ≅ ∠R to prove congruency.
<h3>What is congruency?</h3>The Side-Angle-Side Congruence Theorem (SAS) defines two triangles to be congruent to each other if the included angle and two sides of one is congruent to the included angle and corresponding two sides of the other triangle.
According to the SAS theorem which means Side Angle Side, The angle which is included between the two sides must be congruent.
Here we are given that
KL = NR
JL = MR
Now in the figure, we can clearly see that the angle included between JL & KL is L & the angle included between NR & MR is R.
So for the triangles to be congruent by SAS, angle L must be congruent to angle R.
∠L=∠R
Therefore the correct answer is option B which is we need ∠L ≅ ∠R to prove congruency.

There's really no way to solve this problem apriori (unless you can use tools like lagrange polynomials to interpolate points), so I'll just tell you how to approach problems like this.
First of all, we may try to see if the dependence is linear: the input is always increased by 4 (4, 8, 12, 16,...) and the output increases by 2: (5, 7, 9, 11). So, the answer is yes.
Now that we know that these points lay on a line, we can conclude the exercise in several ways:
- We already know that the slope is 1/2 (4 units up in the x direction correspond to 2 units up in the y direction). So, we only need the y-intercept. If we go back one step, we can see that the next point would be (0, 3) (I decreased the x coordinate by 4 and the y coordinate by 2). So, the y intercept is 3, and the equation of the line is
- We can use the equation of the line passing through two points:
Plug in two points of your choice and you'll get the same answer.
Of course, as a third alternative, you could just have eyeballed the answer: the fact that x grows twice as fast as y could have hinted the x/2 part, and then you could have seen that y is always 3 more than half of x, again leading to y=x/2+3.
