Which of these best describes the hypotenuse-angle theorem?a. If the hypotenuse and an acute angle of a right triangle are similar to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, then the triangles are similarb. none of thesec. If a side and an acute angle of a right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.d. If the hypotenuse and an acute angle of a right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer: d. If the hypotenuse and an acute angle of a right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.Step-by-step explanation:The hypotenuse, acute angle, and right angle form a AAS triple. When these are congruent between two right triangles, the triangles are congruent by the AAS postulate.
