Oh lordy, proofs :}
yes ma'am we all love them
:(
i require assistance
well we can start by eliminating some options. @Nnesha btw, it's good to see you again!
i would say B
since only one angle is clearly shown, and at least 1 side is shown
and the one that connects them is technically a congruent side
wait what does H L theorem do
the H-L theorem is the hypotenuse leg theorem. It states that any two triangles that have a congruent hypotenuse and a corresponding, congruent leg are congruent triangles
so it should be H-L theorem for this one
It seems like that to me, but I'm a bit iffy since the hypotenuses aren't marked as being equivalent
only the legs are
then what do u think it is
i picked H-L
to be honest, I don't feel dead set on any of these. However H-L seems like the best answer, since we know that the angles and legs are equivalent, so the hypotenuse must be as well. Make sense?
yeah
sas means 2 sides and an angle is equivalent, which is basically the same thing
i picked HL, lets do next one
yep. That's why I wasn't certain, the definitions are too similar. And alright, I'm looking at it already
So it looks like we'll need another angle here, since once that's done, the sides are pretty much accounted for.
so that leaves you with either the first or third choice. Which one do you think it is?
C??
@Jamierox4ev3r
yup, nice
@Jamierox4ev3r
so if we have perpendicularity, we know that there is one pair of sides is equivalent
i wanted to say not enough info
since we only have 1 angle and 1 side
then, we are given that one angle is equivalent, and perpendicularity tells us that they are both 90 degree angles. So I'm thinking asa

yes but the side is already included in that angle
@AravindG check those answers xD
yes, but since we know that the line is perpendicular and those angles are equivalent, the sides must be equivalent too.
Yet another intricate proof rule
ok, im picking ASA
if u are wrong, u are dead
lol well that's how we did proofs at my school... I'm pretty sure it's right, and if it's not, your teacher can fite me
Too long so lazy to read haha
^ LOL thx, very helpul x'D
