PLS HELP 30 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST!!! Which statement correctly names the congruent triangles and justifies the reason for congru
kherson [118]

Answer:

ΔABC ≅ ΔEFD by HL

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles given, ∆ABC and ∆EFD, are right triangles.

BC in, ∆ABC, is the hypotenuse and has a length of 5 units, which corresponds to hypotenuse, DF, of ∆EFD. DF also has a length of 5 units.

Therefore, BC ≅ DF.

AC in ∆ABC, corresponds to DE in ∆EFD. Both have the same length.

Therefore, AC ≅ DE.

Since we the hypotenuse of both ∆s and 1 of their corresponding legs are equal, we can conclude that both triangles are congruent based on the Hypotenuse-leg congruency statement, which says that if two right triangles have the same hypotenuse length and a corresponding leg that is equal, both triangles are said to be congruent.

Therefore, ΔABC ≅ ΔEFD by HL

Vikentia [17]

The correct answer is option D.Which is ( x - 1 ).

<h3>What is a quadratic equation?</h3>

It is a polynomial with a degree of 2 or the maximum power of the variable is 2 in quadratic equations. It has two solutions as its maximum power is 2.

The solution of the given quadratic equation will be:-

-2x² - 22x + 24 = 0

x ² + 11x  - 12 = 0

x²  + 12x - x + 12 = 0

x ( x + 12 ) -1 ( x + 12 ) = 0

( x -1 ) ( x + 12 ) = 0

Therefore the correct answer is option D.Which is ( x - 1 ).
