congruent means equal . So look at your two triangles and just name the sides which look equal.

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

which sides do you think are equal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As if you overlapped both triangles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They look the same..?

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

yeah... they look like the same triangle because they're congruent triangles. Meaning that they're the exact same in shape and size. So if you compare the two triangles, which sides look the same?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's B? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

CD is congruent to XY. To start you off. The squiggle with the equal sign means congruent.

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):
