Correct Answer
True
Explanation
This is called SAS Property
We can prove that the triangles shown below are congruent by the SAS property:
Since m(\( \overline{TV} \)) = 2 and m(\( \overline{FG} \)) = 2, the segments are congruent.
\( \overline{TV} \) ≅ \( \overline{FG} \)
Since m(\( \angle V \)) = 90o and m(\( \angle G \)) = 90o, the segments are congruent.
\( \angle V \) ≅ \( \angle G \)
Since m(\( \overline{UV} \)) = 5 and m(\( \overline{EG} \)) = 5, the segments are congruent.
\( \overline{UV} \) ≅ \( \overline{EG} \)
Therefore, \( \triangle TVU \) ≅ \( \triangle PGE \)
