Answer: b) FALSE

Explanation:

In order to show triangle congruency, you must be able to prove one of the following theorems:

SAS: Side-Angle-Side

SSS: Side-Side-Side

AAS: Angle -Angle-Side

ASA: Angle-Side-Angle

HL: Hypotenuse-Leg (can only be used for right triangles)

We are only given information about two of the sides being congruent but no information on the third side or any of the angles so we canNOT prove the triangles are congruent.
