Question

Why is MAE ≅ TON

HL
HA
LL

Answer 1

The answer is HL since the hypotenuse and legs of both triangles are the same length

Answer 2

HL

Explanation:

HL (Hypotension-Leg) postulate of congruence : In two right triangles if the hypotenuses are equal and any two corresponding legs are equal in both triangles then the triangles are congruent.

In the given right triangles MAE and TON,

AM = OT,

EM = NT,

Thus, by the HL postulate,

Δ MAE ≅ Δ TON

First option is correct.
