Not sure if you still need help.. but it's C.. Try looking at this site.. http://www.mathopenref.com/congruenttriangles.html

OpenStudy (kayliwarden):

It's D. D states that the hypotenuse of triangle 1 is congruent to the hypotenuse of triangle 2. Because the problem already states that one leg of triangle 1 is congruent to one leg of triangle 2, you must have a congruent hypotenuse in order to prove the triangles congruent by Hypotenuse-Leg(HL) theorem.

Omg, thank you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, wait. Which of you is right?

OpenStudy (readergirl12):

Go with your gut.. :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, thank you. By any chance can you help me with any other questions?

OpenStudy (readergirl12):

Sure..What grade are you in?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (readergirl12):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (readergirl12):

You should try making a new question.. c:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I kind of need them now. Like really fast. If you can help me, it'd be so much.

OpenStudy (readergirl12):

Was the attachment the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the values of x and y that make these triangles congruent by HL.

OpenStudy (readergirl12):

Ugh...The down-side of being a 13 year-old is not knowing anything.. >.< Sooooo I'm going to go for an educated guess.. 4? -.-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol, I'm 14. But for which x or y?

OpenStudy (readergirl12):

Lool I think it's x=-1 y=3.. If it's wrong please don't track me down and kill me.. ;-;

OpenStudy (kayliwarden):

You can't have a negative distance.. let me mess with it and try and help. Haven't been in geometry in awhile

OpenStudy (kayliwarden):

Got it! x=8 and y=5 |dw:1448145505947:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D; neither of 'em are right. Out of the option they're: A.)x=3, y=4 B.)x=5,y=6 C.)x=6,y=5 D.)x=4,y=3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I opened it in a new question, http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/5650eba4e4b0aa7902663b9a

OpenStudy (kayliwarden):

oh then I would just plug them in! I'll check when I get home
