Question

Which pair of triangles can be proven congruent by using the HL theorem?

Answer 1

HL theorem means Hypotenuse Leg theorem

Meaning that congruent triangle can be proven by its hypotenuse and a leg.

Since the only figure with a hypotenuse and leg, the answer is C

Answer 2

Answer: figure C.

Explanation:

The HL theorem is the hypotenuse leg theorem.

The HL theorem is referred to the congruency of right triangles.

This theorem states that two right triangles that have a congruent hypotenuse and a corresponding, congruent leg are congruent triangles.

Figure A shows the congruency of two pairs of legs. So, this is not the answer.

Figure B shows the congruency of one pair of legs and one pair of angles. So, this is not the answer.

Figure C. shows the congruency of the two hypotenuses and one pair of legs. So, this is the righ answer.
