Which pair of triangles can be proven by the HL theorem

1 answer:

4 0

Also known as the hypotenuse leg theorem. It 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 triangles are congruent.' This is kind of like the SAS, or side-angle-side postulate. Congruent triangles.

Answer:

Option 4 is correct. The length of PR is 6.4 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure it is noticed that the triangle PQR and triangle MQR.

Let the length of PR be x.

Pythagoras formula

$hypotenuse^2=base^2+perpendicular^2$

Use pythagoras formula for triangle PQM.

$PM^2=QM^2+PQ^2$

$PM^2=(6)^2+(8)^2$

$PM^2=36+64$

$PM^2=100$

$PM=10$

The value of PM is 10. The length of PR is x, so the length of MR is (10-x).

Use pythagoras formula for triangle PQR.

$PQ^2=QR^2+PR^2$

$(8)^2=QR^2+x^2$

$64-x^2=QR^2$ .....(1)

Use pythagoras formula for triangle MQR.

$MQ^2=QR^2+MR^2$

$(6)^2=QR^2+(10-x)^2$

$36=QR^2+x^2-20x+100$

$36-x^2+20x-100=QR^2$ .... (2)

From equation (1) and (2) we get

$36-x^2+20x-100=64-x^2$

$20x-64=64$

$20x=128$

$x=6.4$

Therefore length of PR is 6.4 units and option 4 is correct.
