   Zee checks the two sides of a stepladder. Only DF ∥ SU and FC = SC are marked. Is △DCF ≅ △UCS, and by which rule?

   • No: the triangles point in different directions.
   • Yes, by AAS.
   • No: equal angles alone prove only the same shape (AAA).
   • No: only one pair of sides is marked.

   Ari checks two kite halves. Only ∠HQG = ∠WQG and ∠HGQ = ∠WGQ are marked. Is △HQG ≅ △WQG, and by which rule?

   • Yes, by AAS.
   • No: the triangles point in different directions.
   • No: no pair of sides is marked.
   • Yes, by ASA.

   Bo checks two sandwich halves. Only ∠QHG = ∠QWG and ∠HQG = ∠WQG are marked. Is △HQG ≅ △WQG, and by which rule?

   • No: no pair of sides is marked.
   • Yes, by ASA.
   • No: the triangles point in different directions.
   • Yes, by AAS.
