The two triangles are not congruent.
Complete the statement. Explain why is it true.
because if two angles are​ congruent, then the sides connecting those angles are congruent.
because if two angles are​ congruent, then the sides opposite those angles are congruent.
because if two angles are​ congruent, then the sides connecting those angles are congruent.

The two triangles are not congruent
What other​ information, if​ any, do you need to prove the two triangles congruent by​ SAS? Explain.
GT≅NQ
is needed because the congruent angles need to be included between two corresponding congruent sides.
GL≅NM
and
GT≅NQ
are both needed because all three corresponding sides must be congruent.
GL≅NM
is needed because the congruent angles need to be included between two corresponding congruent sides.
No additional information is needed to prove the triangles congruent by SAS.
Would you use SSS or SAS to prove the triangles​ congruent? If there is not enough information to prove the triangles by SSS or​ SAS, write​ "not enough​ information". Explain your answer.
