You can put this solution on YOUR website!
we need more info to help.
.
obviously, both triangles have a common side,,GE,,,
.
lets look for other details that are the same,,angles or sides.
.
Commonly we can prove congruent triangles by
.
ASA,,,angle - side - angle,,,corresponding the same
.
SAS,,,side-angle-side,,,likewise the same
.
SSS,,,,side - side- side,,likewise the same
.
HL,,,,hypotenuse - leg,,,,, if both rt triangles
.
Please take a second look, but send back if you want.
