To use the ASA Congruence Theorem you have to copy a side and two angles. A straightedge and a compass are required for this.
To copy the triangle using the ASA Congruence Theorem, we have to copy two angles and the side that's in between these angles. Let's start by copying the base of △ JKL. To do that, we will draw a straight line that is longer then JK.
Next, we have to copy the angles, ∠ J and ∠ K, from △ JKL. To do that, we draw a set of identical arcs around M and J and another set of identical arcs around K and N.
Let's measure ∠ J on the original and copy this angle to ∠ M. Knowing the direction of MO, we can go ahead and draw what's going to be our second side. Make it a long line!
We will repeat the procedure for ∠ K and ∠ N and draw the third side, NO, until it hits MO.
Finally, we will erase whatever is left over of MO.
