Question

Now, determine whether the relationship between the two triangles you found in the first task is true for any two triangles. For any line, if you draw two right triangles using the line as the hypotenuse, can the triangles be congruent? Why or why not? Do they have to be congruent? Why or why not?

Answer 1

h

Explanation:

Answer 2

The two triangles are not congruent.

Explanation:

If two right triangles are drawn with a line as hypotenuse, the two triangles are not congruent. Because as per RHS congruency ie Right Angle - Hypotenuse - Side : right angle, hypotenuse & also one other side equality is needed for congruence. Given case doesn't satisfy the last 'other side equality' condition.
