Respuesta :

Answer: There is not enough information to conclude they are congruent, NONE.

Explanation

Postulates or theorems

• Hypotenuse Leg (HL) postulate:, when two right triangles have a congruent hypotenuse and a corresponding congruent leg, these are congruent.

,

• Angle-Angle (AA) postulate:, two triangles are similar if two corresponding angles are congruent.

,

• Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent (CPCTC): ,when two triangles are congruent, their corresponding sides and angles are also congruent.

,

• Angle Angle Side (AAS) Theorem: ,two angles and the non-included side of two triangles are congruent, and if the angles and the side are corresponding parts in each triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

,

• Side Side Side (SSS) Postulate: i,f three sides of two triangles are congruent between each other, then the two triangles are congruent.

,

• Side Angle Side (SAS) Postulate: ,two angles and the included side of two triangles are congruent, and if the angles and the side are corresponding parts in each triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

We do not know if the sides are congruent as we are not given any information about it, we just know that the three angles are congruent.

Based on the latter, we can conclude that all postulates or theorems involve the congruence of the sides with the exception of AA postulate. However, the AA postulate states that if it is true, the triangles are similar (same shape) but not necessarily congruent (same size).

Therefore, we have not enough information to conclude the triangles are congruent, we would need the to know the congruency of at least one side of both triangles.
