The figure below shows two triangles EFG and KLM.

Which step can be used to prove that triangle EFG is also a right triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Select one: a. Prove that the sum of a and c is greater than b. b. Prove that the sum of a and b is greater than c. c. Prove that the ratio of EF and KL is greater than 1 and hence the triangles are similar by AA postulate. d. Prove that KL is equal to c by Pythagorean Theorem.

@ganeshie8 I need ur help pplease

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

@Edge, assuming that sides a and b in both triangles are equal, right?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Definitely not A or B.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

D is quite accurate, b/c what I would do is do Pythagorean theorem fro each, and both, KL and c are going to be equal to √(a^2+b^2) which would t/f indicate all sides are equal and t/f all triangles are equal as well.
