Question 618092
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


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 *[tex \LARGE \sqrt{5}]-*[tex \LARGE 2\sqrt{5}]-5 triangle is also a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 5 but that is not congruent to the first triangle.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
