    Using what I know, the triangles are similar. A=P and B=B and C=C (second letter on second triangle) If ABC and PBC are equal like stated in the last sentance, then AB=BP.

    Statements:

    1) BC is congruent to BC

    2) Angle PCB is congruent to Angle ACB

    3) Angle BPA is congruent to Angle BAC

    4) Triangle ABC and PBC are congruent.

    Reasons

    1) Reflexive property of congruence

    2) Definition of similar triangles = congruent angles

    3) Definition of similar triangles = congruent Angles

    4) AAS theorem
