11. Triangle KLM is congruent to triangle DEF. Write down the lengths of the sides DF, KL and LM.
- DF = 10 cm, KL = 6 cm, LM = 8 cm
- DF = 6 cm, KL = 10 cm, LM = 8 cm
- DF = 10 cm, KL = 6 cm, LM = 6 cm
- DF = 10 cm, KL = 8 cm, LM = 6 cm

15. These two triangles are congruent. Write down the lengths of AC, QR and BC.
- AC = 10.3 m, QR = 12 m, BC = 5.1 m
- AC = 10.3 m, QR = 5.1 m, BC = 12 m
- AC = 5.1 m, QR = 10.3 m, BC = 12 m
- AC = 12 m, QR = 5.1 m, BC = 10.3 m
16. These two triangles are congruent. Write down the sizes of ∠BAC, ∠RPQ and ∠PQR.
