If you know that Point M is the midpoint of  TS and UR, which of the triangle congruence methods could be used to prove the triangles are congruent?

• SSS

• SAS

• ASA

• AAA

Answer explanation

If M is the midpoint, then the two sides of the lines are congruent (TM and MS and UM and MR). Vertical angles are also congruent.
