∠T symbol ∠Q is true.
Based on the given information, if ΔRST is congruent to ΔNPQ, it means that the corresponding angles and sides of both triangles are congruent. Therefore, the correct statement would be:
∠R is congruent to ∠P
To determine which of the following is true, we need to understand what it means for ΔRST to symbol ΔNPQ. The symbol "Δ" typically represents congruence, meaning that the two triangles are identical in shape and size. So, ΔRST symbol ΔNPQ means that triangle RST is congruent to triangle NPQ.
Now, let's examine each option:
1. ∠R symbol ∠P: This option suggests that angle R is congruent to angle P. However, we do not have enough information about the angles of the triangles to make this determination. We only know that the entire triangles are congruent, not their individual angles.
2. ∠R symbol ∠Q: This option suggests that angle R is congruent to angle Q. Similar to the previous option, we don't have enough information to conclude this. Therefore, it is not necessarily true.
3. ∠T symbol ∠P: This option suggests that angle T is congruent to angle P. Again, we don't have the necessary information to confirm this. It is not necessarily true.
4. ∠T symbol ∠Q: This option suggests that angle T is congruent to angle Q. Similarly, we lack the information to make this determination. It is not necessarily true.
Given the limited information, we cannot definitively establish the congruence of individual angles in the triangles ΔRST and ΔNPQ. Therefore, none of the options presented are necessarily true.
