Identify which congruence theorem applies in each case

### Identifying Triangle Congruence Theorems

For each pair of triangles, determine which congruence theorem applies, if any:

#### a. Is \(\triangle AMD \equiv \triangle RMC\)?

- **Diagram**: Two triangles sharing a vertex (\(M\)), forming an "X" shape.
  - \(\angle AMD\) and \(\angle RMC\) both measure \(64^\circ\).
  - \(AD = RC = 15 \, \text{cm}\).

#### b. Is \(\triangle WOH \equiv \triangle WAT\)?

- **Diagram**: Two triangles sharing the vertex \(W\).
  - Vertical angles \(\angle WOH\) and \(\angle WAT\) are marked as equal.

#### c. Is \(\triangle GAS \equiv \triangle MOL\)?

- **Diagram**: Two independent triangles.
  - Angles \(\angle G\) and \(\angle O\) both measure \(72^\circ\).
  - Angles \(\angle S\) and \(\angle L\) both measure \(40^\circ\).

#### d. Is \(\triangle AWL \equiv \triangle KLW\)?

- **Diagram**: Two triangles sharing a side \(WL\).

#### e. Is \(\triangle AHOW \equiv \triangle TAWP\)?

- **Diagram**: Two triangles sharing a common side \(AW\).

#### f. Is \(\triangle BOX \equiv \triangle CAR\)?

- **Diagram**: Two triangles with equal marking on sides \(BO\) and \(AC\) and \(OX\) and \(AR\).

For each pair of triangles, apply the appropriate congruence theorem: Side-Angle-Side (SAS), Side-Side-Side (SSS), Angle-Side-Angle (ASA), or Angle-Angle-Side (AAS), if applicable.
