Answer: SAS

Explanation:

SSS requires three known sides. Both of these triangles only give two sides, so this is not correct.

AA requires two angles. Only one angle is given, so this is not correct.

SAS requires two known sides and the angle in between. This is given in the two triangles, so this is the rule that will be used.
