Part II. Congruency
Note: Figures are not drawn to scale. All answers should be exact and written on appropriate answer line.

Fill in the triangle name and the reason. Mark the drawing with only the congruent parts that you are using for
your reason (only three parts of each triangle should be marked). Possible reasons: SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, HL, LL,
HA, LA. If it is a right triangle, you must use right triangle reasons.
