These triangles cannot be
proven congruent.

Two triangles are said to be congruent if all three corresponding sides are equal and all the three corresponding angles are equal in measure.

Step-by-step explanation:

  The triangles cannot be proven congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two adjacent sides and an angle not between them (the vertical angles in the middle) are congruent, but SSA is not a guarantee of triangle congruence.

The triangles cannot be proven congruent.

Additional comment

If it can be shown that sides NP and KM are the longest sides, then an argument can be made for SSA congruence (not a choice). There is nothing in the figure or problem statement to indicate such an argument is supported.

the answer is c

hope this !
