Eden is cutting two triangular tiles for her bathroom. She needs the tiles to be congruent but is not sure she is cutting them that way. Eden has ensured that one side of both tiles is congruent. Which pair of sides would Eden need to compare in order to make sure the triangles are congruent by HL? segment AC and segment ED segment AC and segment FD segment BC and segment EF segment BC and segment FD

Gucchi:

am i right with D?

@jhonyy9

jhonyy9:

first of all what mean this HL ? do you know ?

jhonyy9:

on this diagram you see that is given side angle congruent so what need be again ? there are right triangles

Gucchi:

so you just have to compare both hypothenuses and see if they are congruent

Gucchi:

so she just needs to compare segment bc and segment fd

jhonyy9:

yes this is right but what mean HL ?

Which pair of sides would Eden need to compare in order to make sure the triangles are congruent by HL? this is your question

fd and bc right?

jhonyy9:

i think this HL wan be hypotenuse - length in this case congruent by AB = EF and BC = FD my idea

true so D is the best option here right?

jhonyy9:

i think it so
