Solution by Steps
step 2
The given triangles have two sides and the included angle between them known, which suggests using the SAS (Side-Angle-Side) congruence postulate
step 3
Both triangles have two sides of length 7 and 5, and both have an included angle of 117 degrees
step 4
According to the SAS postulate, if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent
step 5
Since both triangles satisfy the SAS postulate, they are congruent
