I need help with this question: http://prntscr.com/98f08w My guess is that it is ASA I'm not sure about the reasoning though.

pooja195 (pooja195):

I need the reasoning ;-;

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

also HL work though

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think that we can apply the \(SAS\) theorem

pooja195 (pooja195):

I dont know what that is :/

pooja195 (pooja195):

^HL

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

oh wait i said ASA nvm i thought i said SAS :P

pooja195 (pooja195):

Ok so im incorrect :P

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

lol pooja also did the same thing after me :) she posted ganeshie pic :) I would apply SAS because we have 2 sides and an angle between them

pooja195 (pooja195):

Alright thanks for explaining @AlexandervonHumboldt2 1/2 of OS has the same pic ;p

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

i did it first, ahha, then qwerty, then you, then ikram haha

pooja195 (pooja195):

Ok.

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

no i was after qwerty then kai then pooja

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we also can apply the |(ASA\) theorem, since we have a pair of vertical angles: \(<MNL\) and \(<QPM\)

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

but SAS is better ahha

pooja195 (pooja195):

I understand ASA way better than SAS i think i'll go with ASA if thats correct....?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

oops... I meant vertical angles: \(<NML\) and \(<QMP\)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

well @Michele_Laino i think we can apply them all as it's right triangle =)

pooja195 (pooja195):

:/

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

In general, since in order to know completely a triangle we need of three element of such triangle, and at least one of such element has to be a side, so we can say that we have a pair of congruent triangles, and also the \(SSS\) criterion can be applied

pooja195 (pooja195):

Alright I understand, thank you so much! :)
