Answer

$\triangle PAY ≅ \triangle PLA$

Work Step by Step

1. $\overline{AP}$ is congruent to $\overline{AP}$ because they are shared by both triangles. 2. $\overline{AY}$ is marked congruent to $\overline{LP}$. 3. $\overline{PY}$ is marked congruent to $\overline{AL}$. Now, we have three sides on both triangles that are congruent; therefore, we can use the SSS postulate to prove that $\triangle PAY$ is congruent to $\triangle APL$.
