Because we have a right triangle with a pair of corresponding, congruent sides and a pair of corresponding congruent hypotenuses, HL is the postulate that can prove the two triangles congruent.

By the HL Theorem, we must have a pair of corresponding, congruent legs, and a pair of corresponding, congruent hypotenuses to prove two right triangles congruent. This is the case here, so HL can be applied.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

They have the same side, one side is congruent to itself.

alternate interor angle are the same, which is:

Top left of the triangle on the left + botton right of the triangle on the right,

and top left on the triangle on the right + botton right of of the triangle on the left.
