yes; It is given that ZT LQ and UT RQ. Also, ZV ZS by the Symmetric Property of Congruence. So,
ATUV AQRS by the AAS Congruence Theorem.
yes; It is given that ZT ZQ and UT RQ. Also, ZV ZS by the definition of acute angles of a triangle. So,
ATUV AQRS by the AAS Congruence Theorem.
O no; The given information applies to two angles and an included side. So, AAS does not apply in this case.
no; There is only enough information to conclude that one pair of angles and one pair of sides are congruent. So,
AAS does not apply in this case.
