The reasons should be as follows;

1. Given

2. All right angles are congruent.

3. If two lines are parallel, then alternate interior angles are congruent.

4. By the ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Postulate, the triangles are congruent.

What tells us about the triangles' sides being congruent?

Given that triangles △ABO and △DEO are right triangles, segment AB is congruent to segment DE, and line AB is parallel to line DE.

∠B ≅ ∠E Because of the right angles, as seen in the diagram.


∠A ≅ ∠D This is justified by the fact that if AB∥DE and AD is a transversal, then ∠A and ∠D are alternate interior angles, which are congruent.)

The Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Postulate states that if two angles and a non-included side in one triangle are congruent to the corresponding angles and the corresponding side in another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
