Answer:

a) yes

b) no

c) no

d) yes

Explanation:

To use the HL congruence theorem, the triangle must be a right triangle, and congruence must be shown for the hypotenuse and a leg of the triangle.

a) yes, the hypotenuse and leg are shown as the same lengths

b) no; not a right triangle. SAS congruence can be used.

c) no; only a leg is shown congruent; the hypotenuse is not.

d) yes, the legs are shown congruent, and the hypotenuse is congruent to itself.
