Step1: Recall congruence theorems
The HL (Hypotenuse - Leg) theorem states that if the hypotenuse and a leg of one right - triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right - triangle, then the two right - triangles are congruent.
Step2: Check the given triangles
The two triangles are right - triangles (marked with right - angle symbols). One triangle has a hypotenuse (the longest side, marked with three tick marks) and a leg (marked with one tick mark) that are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of the other triangle.
