The coordinates of the vertices of triangle ABC are A( -4, 4), B(-4, 2), C(-2,2) and triangle PQR are P(2, 4), Q(2, 2), R(0, 2). Which statement is correct?

Triangle ABC and triangle PQR are regular triangles.
The two triangles are congruent by the AAA property.
Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle PQR by the SSS property.
The two triangles are similar because the ratio of their corresponding sides is two.
