Question

problem 5: (first taught in lesson 35) complete this sentence with the best of the choices given. according to the ________ shortcut, if the hypotenuse and one leg of one ______ triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and the corresponding leg of another ________ triangle, then the triangles are congruent. a b c d e hypotenuse - leg; acute; acute

Explanation:

The Hypotenuse - Leg (HL) congruence criterion applies specifically to right - angled triangles. If the hypotenuse and one leg of one right - triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and corresponding leg of another right - triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. So the blanks should be filled with "Hypotenuse - Leg", "right", "right" as the triangles in question are right - angled triangles for the HL criterion to work.

Answer:

A. Hypotenuse - Leg; right; right
