Answer:
[tex]\text{1. }\triangle IJH\cong \triangle LKM, \\\text{2. }\triangle RST\cong \triangle YXZ, \\\text{3a. Reflexive Property}, \\\text{3b. ASA (Angle-Side-Angle)}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) is a proof of congruence that states if two triangles share two angles and the side between those two angles, the triangles are congruent. In problems 1 and 2, the following demonstrate this:
[tex]\text{1. }\triangle IJH\cong \triangle LKM, \\\text{2. }\triangle RST\cong \triangle YXZ[/tex]
In problem 3, [tex]\overline{IJ}\cong \overline{IJ}[/tex] is known in geometry as the Reflexive Property. Because of this, the two triangles in the diagram for problem 3 now share two angles and the side between them, thus they are congruent from ASA (Angle-Side-Angle).
