According to HL theorem if one leg and hypotenuse of one right triangle are equal to one leg and hypotenuse of other right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
By using this theorem we can set up the system of equations as follows:
x=y+1 ...(1)
2x+3= 3y + 3 ..(2)
By using equation (1) next step is to plug in y+1 for x in equation (2). So,
2 ( y + 1) + 3 = 3y + 3
2y + 2 + 3 = 3y + 3 By using distribution property.
2y + 5 = 3y + 3
2y + 5 - 5 = 3y + 3 - 5 Subtract 5 from each side.
2y = 3y - 2
2y - 3y = -2 Subtract 3y from each sides.
-y = -2
So, y=2
Next step is to plug in y=2 in equation (1) to get the value of x. Hence,
x= 2+1
=3
So, x=3 and y=2 make these triangles congruent.
So, the correct choice is 3. x = 3, y = 2.

Answer:
a = 30
b = 40
C
Step-by-step explanation:
This requires that you use a proportion.
a / (a + 15) = 40 / 60
The small triangle's sides are in proportion to the large triangles sides.
Reduce the right. Divide top and bottom by 20
a/(a + 15) = 40/20 // 60/20
a/(a + 15) = 2/3
Cross multiply
3a = 2(a + 15) Remove the brackets on the right.
3a = 2a + 30
Subtract 2a from both sides
3a-2a = 30
a = 30
Find B
b is done exactly the same way.
b/(b+20) = 2/3
3b = 2b + 40
3b - 2b = 40
b = 40
