help pleaseee

OpenStudy (igreen):

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!

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

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.

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

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?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep!

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Thank you ;)

OpenStudy (igreen):

No problem \(\Huge\ddot\smile\)
