Question
**2. State the congruence criteria and rigid transformation that maps one shape onto the other. If you do not have enough information to prove the triangles congruent, write not enough information.**

a. The diagram shows two right triangles, both featuring an angle symbol indicating 90 degrees. However, there are no markings for side length congruence or any congruent angles other than the right angles.  
   **Conclusion: Not enough information.**

b. This illustration displays two triangles with three pairs of congruent sides indicated by tick marks.  
   **Congruence Criteria: Side-Side-Side (SSS)  
   Rigid Transformation: Reflection or translation**

c. Two triangles are shown, each with two sides and the included angle marked as congruent.  
   **Congruence Criteria: Side-Angle-Side (SAS)  
   Rigid Transformation: Rotation or translation**

d. This image features two triangles sharing one side, which is marked as congruent in both triangles. Each triangle also includes a right angle, suggesting a shared perpendicular line.  
   **Congruence Criteria: Not enough information.** 

e. Presented are two right triangles with one corresponding side marked for congruence. There are no additional congruent sides or angles provided.  
   **Conclusion: Not enough information.**

f. The illustration depicts two triangles with two pairs of congruent angles, indicated by arc symbols.  
   **Congruence Criteria: Angle-Angle-Side (AAS)  
   Rigid Transformation: Translation or rotation**
