multiple choice 1 point
state whether these triangles are congruent by hl, if not select no.
a) hl b) none
a
b

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the HL (Hypotenuse - Leg) congruence criterion

The HL criterion states that if the hypotenuse and one leg of a right - triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right - triangle, then the two right - triangles are congruent.

Step2: Analyze the given triangles

In the given figure, we have two right - triangles (as indicated by the right - angle marks). Let's assume the two right - triangles. The hypotenuse (the side opposite the right - angle) of one triangle is equal to the hypotenuse of the other triangle (marked with three ticks). The leg (one of the non - hypotenuse sides) of one triangle is equal to the leg of the other triangle (marked with two ticks).

Answer:

A. HL
