8-3 Congruent Right Triangles

HL Thm (Hypotenuse-Leg Thm): If a hypotenuse and a leg of 1 right triangle are congruent to a hypotenuse and a leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Problem 8-3

What information would you need to prove the triangles congruent by the HL Thm? A- You need a right angle in the triangle.

B- You need the height of the triangle

C- You need one base and the height of the triangle
