Correct Answer

SAS property

Explanation

From the diagram, you are comparing △ABE and △CBD.

Given from the markings

  • AB = BC (single tick mark)

  • BE = BD (double tick mark)

  • The angle formed between these pairs of equal sides is the vertical angle at B, so
    ∠ABE = ∠CBD (vertical angles are equal)

How to prove the triangles are congruent

Use the SAS Congruence Rule:

  1. \( \overline{AB} = \overline{BC} \)

  2. Included angle ∠ABE = ∠CBD (vertical angles)

  3. \( \overline{BE} = \overline{BD} \)

Conclusion

Since two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of the other triangle:
