The postulate or theorem to immediately prove the △JKL ≅ △JKM congruent is HL

Which could you use to prove the △JKL ≅ △JKM congruent?

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The triangles △JKL and △JKM

From the triangles we can see that

They are right triangles and the hypotenuse are equal

This means that the postulate to use is the HL criterion

This is so because the HL criterion is a congruence criterion for right-angled triangles.

And it states that if the hypotenuse and one leg of one right-angled triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and the corresponding leg of another right-angled triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
