Question

Why does the LL theorem hold for proving right triangles congruent?

A) The legs in right triangles are equal.
B) The right angle is included between the legs.
C) The hypotenuse is included between the legs.

Answer 1

B.) The right angle is included between the legs.

Answer 2

(A) The legs in right triangles are equal.

Explanation:

LL theorem or Leg-Leg theorem: The LL theorem is also known as the leg-leg theorem. It states that if the legs of one right triangle are congruent to the legs of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Thus, in order to prove that the two right triangles are congruent,w use the LL theorem which holds that The legs in right triangles are equal.

Hence, option A is correct.
