Correct Answer

True

Explanation

This is called SAS Property

We can prove that the triangles shown below are congruent by the SAS property:

Diagram

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, \( \triangle TVU \)\( \triangle PGE \)
