<h3>
Answer: AC = EC (Choice D)</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
HL stands for Hypotenuse Leg. This rule works only for right triangles.
So we must have two hypotenuses that are congruent, and we must have two legs that are congruent
The diagram shows that AB = DE are the congruent hypotenuses. So we have "H" taken care of. We just need the "L" portion.
We can see that only choice D works, which is AC = EC. If we knew that AC and EC were the congruent legs, then we have enough info to use HL.
