Question

14 multiple choice 1 point what criteria can be used to prove these two triangles congruent? hl sas ssa asa

Explanation:

Step1: Identify right - angled triangles

Both $\triangle ADE$ and $\triangle BCF$ are right - angled triangles as indicated by the right - angle symbols.

Step2: Check congruence criteria

We can see that the hypotenuse and one leg of one right - angled triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of the other right - angled triangle. The Hypotenuse - Leg (HL) congruence criterion is used for right - angled triangles when the hypotenuse and one leg of one right - triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right - triangle. SSA is not a valid congruence criterion in general, SAS requires two sides and the included angle, and ASA requires two angles and the included side. Here, HL is applicable.

Answer:

A. HL
