Question 618092: Assume you are given two right triangles with congruent hypotenuses and wish to show that they are congruent. Which of the following denote a congruence theorem for right triangles that may be of use? for apex
The fact that the triangles are right and the two hypotenuses are congruent is insufficient to prove the triangles congruent.
Consider a 3-4-5 right triangle which is a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 5, but a --5 triangle is also a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 5 but that is not congruent to the first triangle.
