1. **State the problem:** We are given three triangles ABE, ADE, and CBE on a coordinate grid with vertices at integer coordinates. We need to determine which statement about their congruence is true.
2. **List the coordinates:**
- A(-4,-1)
- B(-1,3)
- D(1,-1)
- E(0,1)
- C(4,3)
3. **Calculate side lengths using the distance formula:**
The distance between points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $$\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$$
- For triangle ABE:
- $AB = \sqrt{(-1 + 4)^2 + (3 + 1)^2} = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5$
- $BE = \sqrt{(0 + 1)^2 + (1 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{1^2 + (-2)^2} = \sqrt{1 + 4} = \sqrt{5}$
- $AE = \sqrt{(0 + 4)^2 + (1 + 1)^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{16 + 4} = \sqrt{20} = 2\sqrt{5}$
- For triangle ADE:
- $AD = \sqrt{(1 + 4)^2 + (-1 + 1)^2} = \sqrt{5^2 + 0^2} = 5$
- $DE = \sqrt{(0 - 1)^2 + (1 + 1)^2} = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{1 + 4} = \sqrt{5}$
- $AE$ (already calculated) $= 2\sqrt{5}$
- For triangle CBE:
- $CB = \sqrt{(-1 - 4)^2 + (3 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{(-5)^2 + 0^2} = 5$
- $BE$ (already calculated) $= \sqrt{5}$
- $CE = \sqrt{(0 - 4)^2 + (1 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (-2)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 4} = \sqrt{20} = 2\sqrt{5}$
4. **Compare side lengths:**
- Triangle ABE sides: $5$, $\sqrt{5}$, $2\sqrt{5}$
- Triangle ADE sides: $5$, $\sqrt{5}$, $2\sqrt{5}$
- Triangle CBE sides: $5$, $\sqrt{5}$, $2\sqrt{5}$
All three triangles have the same side lengths.
5. **Conclusion:** Since all three triangles have the same three side lengths, they are congruent by SSS (Side-Side-Side) congruence.
**Final answer:**
**D Triangle ABE, △ADE, and △CBE are all congruent.**
