Question

the hl theorem proves these triangles are congruent. true false

Explanation:

The HL (Hypotenuse - Leg) theorem is used to prove the congruence of right - angled triangles, where we need a hypotenuse and a leg of one right - triangle to be congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right - triangle. In the given diagram, there is no indication that these are right - angled triangles, and the markings and angles shown are more consistent with other congruence criteria (like ASA or AAS) rather than HL. So the statement that the HL theorem proves these triangles are congruent is false.

Answer:

False
