1. The problem asks if the two triangles can be proved congruent and which postulate can be used.
2. The common triangle congruence postulates are:
- ASA (Angle-Side-Angle): Two angles and the included side are congruent.
- SSS (Side-Side-Side): All three sides are congruent.
- SAS (Side-Angle-Side): Two sides and the included angle are congruent.
3. According to the descriptions:
- The first pair of triangles has two angles and one side marked congruent, so ASA applies.
- The second pair has three pairs of sides marked congruent, so SSS applies.
- The third pair has two sides and one angle marked congruent, so SAS applies.
- The fourth pair has two sides marked congruent but no postulate applies, so no congruence.
4. Therefore, the answers given (yes, ASA; yes, SSS; yes, SAS; no) are correct.
Final answer: Yes, the congruence postulates ASA, SSS, and SAS apply correctly to the first three cases, and the fourth case is not congruent.
