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 Theorem

The HL theorem states that if the hypotenuse and one leg of a right - triangle are congruent 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 right - triangles:

• The legs (marked with one tick) are congruent.
• The hypotenuses (marked with one tick) are congruent.

Since we have two right - triangles with congruent hypotenuses and congruent legs, they satisfy the HL congruence criterion.
