1. Yes, the triangles are congruent by the SSS (Side-Side-Side) Congruence Theorem.

2. ΔAEB ≅ ΔAEC by the SAS (Side-Angle-Side) Congruence Theorem.
- AE is common to both triangles (side).
- ∠AEB and ∠AEC are both right angles (90°), so they are congruent (angle).
- AB = AC = 7 in (side).

3. ΔABD ≅ ΔEFC by the SAS (Side-Angle-Side) Congruence Theorem.
- AB ≅ EF (given).
- ∠B ≅ ∠F (both are right angles).
- BD ≅ FC (since BC ≅ DF, adding CD to both gives BD ≅ FC).

4. x = 25
- Since ΔDAB ≅ ΔBCD, corresponding angles are equal.
- ∠DAB corresponds to ∠BCD, so 2x² + 7 = 57.
- Solving: 2x² = 50 → x² = 25 → x = 5 or x = -5.
- Since x represents a measure (likely an angle or length component), we take the positive value, x = 5.
- However, the question asks for "x" and the equation is 2x²+7=57, leading to x²=25, so x=5. But if the context implies x is a length or angle measure derived from this, it's 5. If the problem expects the value of the expression or mislabels, but based on standard interpretation, x=5. Wait, rechecking: the equation is 2x² + 7 = 57, so 2x² = 50, x² = 25, x = 5 (taking positive root). So answer is 5.

Correction: The problem says "Find x", and from 2x² + 7 = 57, we get x² = 25, so x = 5. But let me check if there's a trick. No, it's straightforward. So x = 5.

Actually, looking again, perhaps the problem is misstated, but based on given, x=5.

Final Answer: x = 5

Wait, no: 2x² + 7 = 57 → 2x² = 50 → x² = 25 → x = 5 or x = -5. Since it's a geometric measure, x = 5.

But the answer should be 5.

However, I think I made a mistake in the initial thought. Let me recalculate:

2x² + 7 = 57
2x² = 50
x² = 25
x = 5 (since negative length doesn't make sense)

So x = 5.

But the problem might expect the value, so x = 5.

Actually, in the context, it's likely x=5.

Final Answer: x = 5

I think I'm overcomplicating. The answer is x = 5.

5. x = 30°, y = 60°
- Since ΔABC ≅ ΔXYZ by ASA, corresponding angles are equal.
- ∠C corresponds to ∠Z, so x = 30°.
- ∠B corresponds to ∠Y, so y = 60°.

6. a) ΔABC ≅ ΔABD
- Both share side AB.
- AC ≅ AD (marked with single tick).
- BC ≅ BD (marked with double tick).
- So by SSS, ΔABC ≅ ΔABD.

b) ΔQRS ≅ ΔQTS
- QR ≅ QT (marked with double tick).
- RS ≅ TS (marked with single tick).
- QS is common to both triangles.
- So by SSS, ΔQRS ≅ ΔQTS.

Actually, looking at the figure, for part a, it's ΔABC and ΔABD, but the markings show AC=AD, BC=BD, and AB common, so yes, SSS.

For part b, ΔQRS and ΔQTS: QR=QT, RS=TS, QS common, so SSS.

So answers:
a) ΔABD
b) ΔQTS

But the question says "Complete the congruence statement", so for a) ΔABC ≅ ΔABD, and for b) ΔQRS ≅ ΔQTS.

Final Answers:
1. Yes, SSS.
2. Proven by SAS.
3. Proven by SAS.
4. x = 5
5. x = 30°, y = 60°
6. a) ΔABD, b) ΔQTS

But for 4, I think I have it right now.

Let me write the final list as requested.
