Answer:   Choice B

=======================================================

Explanation:

Your teacher wants you to use the angle-angle-side congruence theorem, which abbreviates to AAS. Note in the diagram that we have two pairs of angles marked.

  • Angle P = Angle U (double arcs)
  • Angle Q = Angle S (single arcs)

So we have the info about the angles being congruent, and that takes care of the two "A"s in AAS.

We just need a pair of sides to be congruent. Specifically, we need the pair of sides that are not between the angles mentioned for either triangle. If we went for this option, then we'd go for ASA instead of AAS. The order is important.

So we have two possible answers

  • PR = UT
  • QR = ST

If either of those were given to us, then we can use the AAS theorem.  Unfortunately PR = UT isn't listed, but QR = ST is listed. So this is why choice B is the answer.

Side note: Both QR and ST are opposite the double arc angle.

Answer:

QR≅ST

Step-by-step explanation:

With AAS congruence, you need 2 angles and a non-included side. On ΔPQR, that could be either PR or QR. PQ is the included side as it is between the angles, and therefore cant be used for this congruence theorem.

As said above, it can be either PR or QR, but it has to be QR in this case as there is no answer option for PR.

On the other triangle, the corresponding side is ST. ∠S and ∠Q are corresponding, and US is the included side, so that leaves only ST.

Finally, the information you need to prove that the triangles are congruent is QR≅ST.
