### Congruent Triangles and Corresponding Side Segments

![Two triangles labeled LMN and PRQ](Attachment)

Mandy has the two triangular pieces of cloth pictured above.

If \( \triangle LMN \cong \triangle PRQ \), which statement about the cloth pieces must be true?

- \( \bigcirc \) \(LM \cong PR, MN \cong RQ, NL \cong QP\)
- \( \bigcirc \) \(LM \cong PQ, MN \cong QR, NL \cong RP\)
- \( \bigcirc \) \(LM \cong RP, MN \cong PQ, NL \cong QR\)
- \( \bigcirc \) \(LM \cong RQ, MN \cong QP, NL \cong PR\)

In the provided image, two triangles \( \triangle LMN \) and \( \triangle PRQ \) are depicted. Each vertex of the triangles is labeled, and we are asked to determine the corresponding relationships between the sides of the triangles based on the congruence statement.

Explanation:

- If two triangles are congruent (\( \triangle LMN \cong \triangle PRQ \)), their corresponding sides and angles are equal.
- Determine the correct correspondence between the segments:
  - \( L \leftrightarrow P \)
  - \( M \leftrightarrow R \)
  - \( N \leftrightarrow Q \)
  
Therefore:

- \( LM \cong PR \)
- \( MN \cong RQ \)
- \( NL \cong QP \)

Thus, the correct answer is the first option: 
- \(LM \cong PR, MN \cong RQ, NL \cong QP\).
