There are several ways two triangles can be congruent.

[tex]\mathbf{\triangle AOK \cong \triangle BOL}[/tex] are congruent by SAS

In [tex]\mathbf{\triangle AOL}[/tex] and [tex]\mathbf{\triangle BOK}[/tex] (see attachment), we have the following observations

[tex]1.\ \mathbf{AO = BO}[/tex] --- Because O is the midpoint of line segment AB

[tex]2.\ \mathbf{\angle AOL = BOK}[/tex] ---- Because vertical angles are congruent

[tex]3.\ \mathbf{LO = KO}[/tex] --- Because O is the midpoint of line segment KL

Using the SAS (side-angle-side) postulate, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{\triangle AOK \cong \triangle BOL}[/tex] ---- i.e. both triangles are congruent

The above congruence equation is true because:

  1. 2 sides of both triangles are congruent
  2. 1 angle each of both triangles is equal
