This is Geometry: Are the two triangles shown below congruent? If so, by which postulate?

OpenStudy (bbb911):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

RHS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

both are right angled hypotenuse = hypotenuse any of the other two sides = any of the other two sides

OpenStudy (asadkarim7):

RHS is not here

OpenStudy (aroub):

no i think it has to be HL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d) None

OpenStudy (asadkarim7):

harkirat but they are congruent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is HL rule of congruency??

OpenStudy (aroub):

hypotenuse leg = HL

OpenStudy (bbb911):

Thank you Harkirtat

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they r congruent but the properties given do not match However by using Pythagoras theorem we can see that the Hypotenuses will be equal so we can apply SSS c) SSS

OpenStudy (bbb911):

Thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh We call HL as RHS !!!

OpenStudy (aroub):

NO NO ITS IMPOSSIBLE WE AN A RIGHT ANGLE

OpenStudy (aroub):

we have a right angle*

OpenStudy (bbb911):

so its none?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ aroub What do u mean ??

OpenStudy (aroub):

yes i think

OpenStudy (asadkarim7):

no it is congruent it shouldnt be none

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if hypotenuse and one side of two right triangles are same then by Pythagoras theorem their third side also will be same length so SSS

OpenStudy (aroub):

then which one asad?

OpenStudy (aroub):

yes mabye

OpenStudy (bbb911):

So SSS rite?

OpenStudy (asadkarim7):

yeah SSS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

see oif we say triangle1 and triangle 2 then hypotenuse1 = hypotenuse2 side 1 = side2 By Pythagoras theorem we can claculate and find third sides also equal so SSS

OpenStudy (aroub):

yes yes its true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c) SSS --- go for it don't worry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SSA, Side/Side/Angle

OpenStudy (bbb911):

Thank you so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@SSA ??????? Never heard of it ......

OpenStudy (bbb911):

SSS is the answer
