Which pair of triangles can be proven congruent by SAS?

A
2 identical triangles are shown. The triangle is reflected across a line to form the second triangle.
Option A
B
2 identical triangles are shown. The triangle is rotated 90 degrees to form the second triangle.
Option B
C
2 identical triangles are shown. The triangle is reflected across a line and then rotated to form the second triangle.

Given: bisects ∠MRQ; ∠RMS ≅ ∠RQS

Question illustration
A
ΔMNR ≅ ΔMNS by ASA
B
ΔRMS ≅ ΔRQS by AAS
C

4

Triangles J K L and X Y Z are shown. Angles K J L and Y X Z are right angles. The length of Y X is 10. The length of hypotenuse K L is 10.

Question illustration
A
Yes, if JL ≅ XZ.
B
Yes, if XZ = 10.
C
No, because the hypotenuse of one triangle is equal in length to the leg of the other triangle.
D
No, because the leg of one triangle is equal in length to the leg of the other triangle.
5

The triangles are congruent by the SSS congruence theorem.

Question illustration
A
reflection only
B
rotation only
C
translation, then reflection
D
translation, then rotation

Triangles Q R S and A B C are shown. The lengths of sides Q R and A B are 16 centimeters. The lengths of sides R S and B C are 24 centimeters. Angles Q R S and A B C are right angles. Sides Q S and A C are parallel and identical to each other and there is space in between the 2 triangles.

Question illustration
A
No, ΔQRS and ΔABC are congruent but ΔQRS cannot be mapped to ΔABC using a series rigid transformations.
B
No, ΔQRS and ΔABC are not congruent.
C
Yes, ΔQRS can be translated so that R is mapped to B and then rotated so that S is mapped to C.
D
Yes, ΔQRS can be translated so that Q is mapped to A and then reflected across the line containing QS.
