repost?  the answer is the same as before...

anonymous · Answer

I still don't get it.

apoorvk · Answer

its RL (or RHS as they say). two pairs corresponding sides are equal (TR the hypotenuse is common to both triangles actually), and one pair of corresponding right angle which are 90 degrees each (the right angles because of perpendicularity). So the answer comes to RL.

anonymous · Answer

But there is no RL in the answer choices above. So it must be HL then right?

apoorvk · Answer

I meant HL. sorry

apoorvk · Answer

HL for Hypotenuse Leg congruence.
