Question
![**Choose ASA, SAA, or neither to describe this figure:**
In the provided image, there is a triangle labeled with additional lines and arcs, indicating certain geometric properties such as angles and sides. The following options are given to describe the triangle configuration presented:
- **[A] ASA** (Angle-Side-Angle)
- **[B] SAA** (Side-Angle-Angle)
- **[C] neither**
Make your selection based on the information provided about the triangle.
**What Are ASA and SAA?**
- **ASA (Angle-Side-Angle)**: This configuration means two angles and the included side are known in a triangle. By knowing two angles and the side between them, the triangle is determined.
- **SAA (Side-Angle-Angle)**: This configuration means one side and two adjacent angles are known in a triangle. By knowing one side and the two angles adjacent to this side, the triangle is determined.
Examine the shapes and labels within the triangle diagram carefully to ascertain whether it meets the criteria of ASA, SAA, or neither.
**Additional Information:**
- The image comprises two answer choices: ASA and SAA, represented as buttons A and B, respectively, and a third option "neither" as button C. Ensure you understand the definitions and visual markers for ASA and SAA before making your choice.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fdff19c21-7ae6-417f-9634-a3f0d34c87de%2F4ce4e538-cb83-4283-89e1-647c61a699b8%2Ff3uwxyw_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
