STEP 1

Assumptions1. We have two triangles, $M N$ and $Q$ . . We need to find additional information that is sufficient to show that $\triangle L M N$ can be transformed and mapped onto $\triangle O Q$ .

STEP 2

In order to show that two triangles can be transformed and mapped onto each other, we need to show that they are congruent. Two triangles are congruent if they satisfy any of the following conditions1. Side-Side-Side (SS) congruence All three sides in one triangle are congruent to the corresponding sides in the other.
2. Side-Angle-Side (AS) congruence Two sides and the included angle in one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two sides and the included angle in the other. . Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) congruence Two angles and the included side in one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and the included side in the other.
4. Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) congruence Two angles and a non-included side in one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and a non-included side in the other.

STEP 3

Let's consider each of the given options and see which one would provide enough information to show that the two triangles are congruent.
a. $Q=6$ : This gives us the length of one side of $\triangle O Q$ , but without knowing the lengths of the corresponding sides in $\triangle L M N$ , we cannot determine congruence.
b. $M N=9$ : This gives us the length of one side of $\triangle L M N$ , but without knowing the lengths of the corresponding sides in $\triangle O Q$ , we cannot determine congruence.
c. $\angle L M N \cong \angle Q O$ : This gives us that one angle in $\triangle L M N$ is congruent to one angle in $\triangle O Q$ . However, without additional information about the sides or other angles, we cannot determine congruence.
d. $\angle N L M \cong \angle Q O$ : This gives us that one angle in $\triangle L M N$ is congruent to one angle in $\triangle O Q$ . However, without additional information about the sides or other angles, we cannot determine congruence.

STEP 4

From the above analysis, we can see that none of the options individually provide enough information to show that $\triangle L M N$ can be transformed and mapped onto $\triangle O Q$ . Therefore, the problem is either missing information or it is impossible to determine congruence based on the given options.
