Step1: Identify right - angled triangles
The two triangles formed from the rectangle are right - angled triangles as indicated by the right - angle symbols.
Step2: Identify congruent sides
The diagonal is a common side (hypotenuse for both right - angled triangles) and one of the non - hypotenuse sides of each triangle is marked as congruent.
Step3: Recall congruence theorem
The Hypotenuse - Leg (HL) congruence theorem states that if the hypotenuse and a leg of one right - angled triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right - angled triangle, the two triangles are congruent. Here, we have the hypotenuse (common diagonal) and a leg congruent for the two right - angled triangles.
