Use the ticks and the shared side to drive your answer.
Correct Answer
SSS property
Explanation
Given from the tick marks
-
\( \overline {QR} \) = \( \overline{RS} \) (double tick marks)
-
\( \overline{QT} \) = \( \overline{TS} \) (single tick marks)
-
\( \overline{RT} \) is common to both triangles (shared side)
So each triangle has:
-
Two sides that match the other triangle
-
The included angle between those sides is the same (because it is the angle at R–T in each triangle)
Therefore
△QRT≅△TRS\triangle QRT \cong \triangle TRS
by the Side–Side–Side (SSS) property OR Side–Angle–Side (SAS) (since the angle between equal sides is the angle at T, which is common).
