Exercise 6 Page 622

The HL Congruence Theorem considers a leg and the hypotenuse of a right triangle.

Not enough information is given.

Practice makes perfect

According to the HL Congruence Theorem, if the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of a second right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. We do not know that the hypotenuses are congruent. Therefore, we do not have enough information.
