Question

Which of the following theorems verifies that HIJ= KLM?

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

We see that one corresponding angle and the hypotenuses of the right triangles are congruent so the answer is HA. (The H stands for hypotenuse and the A stands for angle.)

Answer 2

`\boxed{HA}`

Explanation:

The theorem that verifies ΔHIJ ≅ ΔKLM is the HA (Hypotenuse-Angle Theorem) which shows that the hypotenuse and an acute angle are congruent to each other.

=> IJ ≅ LM (Hypotenuse)

=> ∠NIJ ≅ ∠KLM (Acute Angle)
