What do you think? We are give 3 congruent sides and 1 congruent angle.
zarkam21 (zarkam21):
Well d for sure
zarkam21 (zarkam21):
Because choice D tells us that there are two sides and one angle
OpenStudy (igreen):
Correct!

But isn't there another choice to tell us what right triangle postulate is being shown?
zarkam21 (zarkam21):
What I mean by this is , there should be more than one answer. =)
OpenStudy (igreen):
Oh, I didn't see that.
HL – Hypotenuse Leg
HA – Hypotenuse Acute angle
LL – Leg Leg
LA – Leg Acute angle
OpenStudy (igreen):
HA isn't shown
OpenStudy (igreen):
So what do you think?
We're not given any angles besides the 90 degree angle.

yes what do you need help with?
zarkam21 (zarkam21):
That is what I am confused on, I mean there is no acute angle shown at all, so that automatically eliminates HA and LA.
OpenStudy (igreen):
Correct.
OpenStudy (igreen):
And we are given all of the sides..the triangle is congruent by SSS.
zarkam21 (zarkam21):
HL and LL?
