Question

Match the diagrams to the correct congruence. Note that some diagrams may have more than one answer (select all that apply).

Answer 1

C. The image shows two right triangles with one pair of congruent leg and congruent hypotenuse. Therefore, the congruence is HL.

D. This shows two right triangles that share one side (a leg) and have the other leg also congruent to each other. Therefore, their congruence is LL and SAS (leg, right angle, leg).

E. This shows two triangles with a pair of congruent sides, a pair of congruent angles, and they have a common side, therefore congruent since they are the same.

So, their congruence is SAS.

F. This shows two right triangles sharing the same hypotenuse, and with a pair of congruent angles. Therefore, their congruence is HA.

G. This shows two right triangles with congruent hypotenuses, one congruent pair of legs, and two congruent pairs of angles (if we include the right angle).

So, their congruence is HA and HL.

H. The two triangles here have a right angle, a pair of congruent sides, and a pair of angles that are opposite by vertex, so they are also congruent angles.

Therefore, their congruence is ASA.
