It would be A, Side Angle Side (SAS). Because you are given we congruent sides, and tow right angles. Using the reasoning of "If two two angles are both right angles then they are congruent" you can prove the angles congruent.
The reason it is not HL is because HL is used when it is given a right angle and the hypotenuse and one of the legs congruent. Therefore the only choice is Side Angle Side (SAS).
Answer:
Uh I got 7x^2 + 16x +64. Idk if there are more options that aren't in the pic or if I did it wrong
The surface area of the square bottom = L x W = 7 x 7 = 49 cm^2
The area for one of the triangles = 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 7 x 9 = 31.5 cm^2
There are 4 triangles, the total area for the triangles = 31.5 x 4 = 126 cm^2
Total area = base + triangles = 49 + 126 = 175 cm^2
