Explanation:

Part (a)

Step1: Recall HL Congruence

HL (Hypotenuse - Leg) applies to right - angled triangles. For two right - angled triangles, if the hypotenuse and one leg are equal, they are congruent.
In part (a), both triangles are right - angled. The hypotenuse of both is \(13\) mm and one leg is \(5\) mm.

Step2: Determine Congruence Applicability

Since we have two right - angled triangles with equal hypotenuse (\(13\) mm) and equal leg (\(5\) mm), the HL congruence property can be used.

Step1: Recall HL Congruence

HL requires a right - angled triangle, hypotenuse, and one leg. Here, we have two right - angled triangles. Let's check the sides. The markings show that the legs (the equal - marked sides) and the hypotenuses (the other equal - marked sides) are equal? Wait, no. Wait, in HL, we need hypotenuse and one leg. But here, the markings: let's see, the first triangle has two legs with one mark and hypotenuse with another? Wait, no, the first right - triangle: the two legs (the ones with the right angle) have one mark (the leg) and the hypotenuse has another? Wait, no, the first triangle: the legs (the sides forming the right angle) - one leg has two marks, the other leg (the base) has one mark? Wait, no, the diagram: first right - triangle: two sides (one leg with two marks, hypotenuse with one mark), second right - triangle: two sides (one leg with two marks, hypotenuse with one mark)? Wait, no, actually, in HL, we need hypotenuse and one leg. But here, the markings: let's see, the first triangle: the legs (the sides of the right angle) - one leg has two marks, the hypotenuse has one mark. The second triangle: the legs (the sides of the right angle) - one leg has two marks, the hypotenuse has one mark. Wait, no, actually, the problem is: are these right - angled triangles with hypotenuse and one leg equal? Wait, no, the markings: the first triangle has a leg with two marks, hypotenuse with one mark. The second triangle has a leg with two marks, hypotenuse with one mark. But in HL, we need hypotenuse and one leg. Wait, no, maybe I misread. Wait, the two triangles: both are right - angled. The first triangle: the legs (the sides forming the right angle) - one leg (vertical) has two marks, the base (horizontal) has one mark, hypotenuse has one mark? No, the first triangle: the sides: one leg (with right angle) has two marks, the hypotenuse has one mark. The second triangle: one leg (with right angle) has two marks, the hypotenuse has one mark. Wait, no, actually, in HL, we need hypotenuse and one leg. But here, the equal sides: the legs with two marks are equal, and the hypotenuses with one mark are equal? Wait, no, the hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle. So in the first triangle, the hypotenuse is the side with one mark, and one leg is the side with two marks. In the second triangle, the hypotenuse is the side with one mark, and one leg is the side with two marks. So that means hypotenuse (one mark) is equal, and one leg (two marks) is equal. So HL should apply? Wait, no, wait the original problem: maybe I made a mistake. Wait, no, the answer is yes? Wait, no, wait the diagram: first triangle: right - angled, one leg (the vertical one) has two marks, hypotenuse (the slant) has one mark. Second triangle: right - angled, one leg (the vertical one) has two marks, hypotenuse (the slant) has one mark. So hypotenuse (one mark) is equal, one leg (two marks) is equal. So HL should apply? Wait, no, maybe the markings are different. Wait, the first triangle: the legs (the sides of the right angle) - one leg (the vertical) has two marks, the base (horizontal) has one mark, hypotenuse (slant) has one mark? No, the first triangle: the sides: the leg (vertical) has two marks, the hypotenuse (slant) has one mark. The second triangle: the leg (vertical) has two marks, the hypotenuse (slant) has one mark. So hypotenuse (one mark) is equal, one leg (two marks) is equal. So HL can be used? Wait, no, maybe I am wrong. Wait, no, the correct answer: let's think again. HL: hypotenuse - leg. So two right - angled triangle…

Step1: Recall HL Congruence

HL applies to right - angled triangles. The figure in (c) is a kite divided into two triangles by a diagonal. Are these right - angled triangles? No, the triangles in (c) are not right - angled (there is no right - angle marking). So HL (which requires right - angled triangles) cannot be used.

Step2: Determine Congruence Applicability

Since the triangles are not right - angled, HL congruence property (which is for right - angled triangles) cannot be used.

Answer:

Yes
