Question

determine the relationship between the two triangles and whether or not they can be proven to be congruent. answer attempt 1 out of 2 the two triangles are related by , so the triangles

Explanation:

Step1: Observe triangle features

Both triangles have a right - angle and a single congruent side marked.

Step2: Recall congruence criteria

The Hypotenuse - Leg (HL) criterion for right - triangles requires the hypotenuse and one leg to be congruent. Here we don't know about the hypotenuse, and the Side - Angle - Side (SAS) criterion requires two sides and the included angle to be congruent. We only have one side and one non - included right - angle. There is not enough information to prove congruence.

Step3: Determine relationship

The triangles have a right - angle and one side congruent, but they are not congruent. They are similar in shape (both right - triangles) but not congruent in size.

Answer:

The two triangles are related by having a right - angle and one congruent side, so the triangles are not congruent.
