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

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

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*

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 ......
