The correct Answer is:
To determine the conditions under which triangles \( \triangle ABC \) and \( \triangle LMN \) can be congruent, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Information**: - We know that \( AB = LM \) and \( BC = MN \). - These represent two sides of each triangle. 2. **Draw the Triangles**: - Draw triangle \( ABC \) with sides \( AB \) and \( BC \). - Draw triangle \( LMN \) with sides \( LM \) and \( MN \). 3. **List the Known Sides**: - From the problem, we have: - \( AB = LM \) (first side) - \( BC = MN \) (second side) 4. **Determine the Missing Information**: - To establish congruence between two triangles, we need to know about the angles as well. - We already have two sides, but we need to find the angle that is included between these two sides. 5. **Identify the Angle**: - The angle that is included between the sides \( AB \) and \( BC \) in triangle \( ABC \) is angle \( B \). - Similarly, the angle included between sides \( LM \) and \( MN \) in triangle \( LMN \) is angle \( M \). 6. **Set Up the Congruence Condition**: - For the triangles to be congruent, we need: - \( AB = LM \) - \( BC = MN \) - \( \angle B = \angle M \) 7. **Apply the SAS Congruence Criterion**: - The condition we have is two sides and the included angle (SAS). - Therefore, by the SAS (Side-Angle-Side) criterion, we can conclude that: \[ \triangle ABC \cong \triangle LMN \] ### Conclusion: The condition that can make the two triangles congruent is: - \( \angle B = \angle M \).
