Given: Right triangles CES and RST

In two or more complete sentences, explain what additional information is needed to prove triangle CES congruent to triangle RST.

im confused on how to write this

2. ## Re: Given: Right triangles CES and RST

there are two sets of corresponding angles that are congruent ... so, what else would you need?

This is an impossible question.
Suppose that $R'$ is a point such that $R-R'-S$ and a point $T'$ such that $T-T'-S~\&~\overline{RT}\|\overline{R'T'}$

Observe that the new triangle $\Delta SR'T'$ does not change the given in the problem in any way.
How can anything be proven if that is the case?

triangles are similar.CES RTS
If CS=SR they are congruent and CRTE is a regular trapezoid

Yes that is true. But that is not what was posted.
As posted the statement is not true.
