Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles are said to be congruent if they have the same sides and the same angles.

The following measures are used to determine if triangles are congruent:

1) Angle-side-angle: If two angles and a side of a triangle is equal to two angles and corresponding side of another triangle, then they are congruent.

2) Side-side-side: If all three sides of a triangle is equal to three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

3) Side angle side: If two sides and an included angle of a triangle is equal to the two sides and corresponding angle of another triangle, then they are congruent.

4) Hypotenuse - leg: If the hypotenuse and one leg of a triangle is equal to the hypotenuse and leg of another triangle then they are congruent.

From the triangles  DEF and ABC, already, they already have one equal triangle that is ∠F = ∠B and an equal side i.e DF = AC.

To satisfy congruence, two sides and an angle have to be equal, therefore if AB = DE then the two triangles would be congruent

m∠a is 90°

m∠b is 40°
