The measure of angle
The length of side
The lengths of sides and
No additional information is necessary.
Explanation
Correct answer: C.
Choice C is correct. Since angles and each have the same measure and angles and each have the same measure, triangles and are similar, where side corresponds to side . To determine whether two similar triangles are congruent, it is sufficient to determine whether one pair of corresponding sides are congruent. Therefore, to determine whether triangles and are congruent, it is sufficient to determine whether sides and have equal length. Thus, the lengths of and are sufficient to determine whether triangle is congruent to triangle .
Desmos solution:
Note: The blue line confirms the third angle is 112°, showing the triangles are similar, so knowing BC and EF are equal would prove congruence.
