Mark the angle pairs which are congruent due to the presence of transversal HK which would help prove that triangles RXH and KXN are congruent.

• ∠RXK ≅ ∠HXN

• ∠RHX ≅ ∠NKX

• ∠CRN ≅ ∠TNC

• ∠RHX ≅ ∠KXN

You are trying to prove triangles A and B congruent. Given the information depicted on the diagram. What is the reason you would mark the blue, single arc angles congruent?

• The two angles are corresponding parts of the two triangles in question.

• Alternate internal angles of a transversal are congruent.

• The reflexive property of congruence.

• The transversal cuts through two parallel lines.

• These angles are Vertical angles and therefore are congruent
