With the information given in the diagram, which statement is NOT true?
Rigid motions can be used to match the triangles up exactly.
The triangles can be proved by the AAS theorem to be congruent.
The triangles can be proved by the SAS theorem to be congruent.
The triangles can be proved by the SSS theorem to be congruent.

To determine which statement is NOT true, we need to evaluate the congruence proofs based on the properties of triangles.
1. Rigid motions can be used to match the triangles up exactly. – This is typically true for congruent triangles.
2. The triangles can be proved by the AAS theorem to be congruent. – This is true when two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle.
3. The triangles can be proved by the SAS theorem to be congruent. – This is true when two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle.
4. The triangles can be proved by the SSS theorem to be congruent. – This is true if all three sides of one triangle are congruent to all three sides of another triangle.
Without the diagram, if any of these conditions don’t hold based on the given information in the diagram, we can’t definitively say which statement is false.
However, a common misconception arises with the AAS, SAS, or SSS applicability without complete side or angle information.
Thus, the answer will depend on the specific measurements or angles depicted.
If none of these conditions can be satisfied by observing or measuring the corresponding parts accurately, the statement that could typically be incorrect would be either AAS, SAS, or SSS based on the situation
