Question

the ll theorem is a special case of the ____
a. sas postulate or sss postulate
b. aas theorem or asa postulate
c. sas postulate or asa postulate
d. aas theorem or sss postulate

Explanation:

The LL (Leg - Leg) theorem for right - triangles states that if the two legs of one right - triangle are congruent to the two legs of another right - triangle, the triangles are congruent. This is a special case of the SAS (Side - Angle - Side) postulate (where the included angle is the right angle) or SSS (Side - Side - Side) postulate (since the hypotenuses can be found congruent using the Pythagorean theorem).

Answer:

A. SAS postulate or SSS postulate
