5. Proving Triangle Congruence by SSS

What do you know about the sides and angles of a square?
Note that the exercise states that it's a "square" pattern. If we isolate a single tile, we know that it will have four congruent sides and four right angles.
As we can see, both triangles share the same hypotenuse which means we can by the Reflexive Property of Congruence claim that this side is congruent as well. At the same time, we will remove a couple of angles that are not a part of either triangle.
Now we have a few options to choose from in order to prove congruence:
