The two legs of a right triangle measure 6 and 8. The leg and hypotenuse of another right triangle measure 8 and 11, respectively. Are these two triangles congruent? triangle measure 8 and 11 a) Yes b) O No

Solution

No. they aren\'t.

For the 1st triangle, The third side is the hypotenuse = sqrt(6^2 + 8^2) = 10

For the 2nd triangle, the 2nd side is sqrt(121-64) = sqrt(55)

Applying SSS congruency principles, all same sides should be in proportions, the 2 triangles aren\'t congruent
