Question 262333: given the right triangle A with hypotenuse length of x+3 and a leg length x. and the right triangle B with hypotenuse length 3y and a leg length of y+1 for what values of x and y are the triangles congruent by HL?

One answer will be when the hypotenuses are equal in length, and the legs
are equal in length, which will give us this system:



That gives solution x=3 and y=2
