4.5.11 Mohamed wrote the paragraph proof to show that ADEG AEFG. What mistake did he make?
ADEG and AEFG are right triangles.
The figure shows DE = EF, AND
EG EG by the Reflexive Property.
Therefore, by the HL theorem,
ADEG AEFG
G
X Х
Choose the correct answer below.
O A. The two triangles are congruent by SAS, not the HL Theorem.
O B. In AEFG, EF is a leg and in ADEG, DE is the hypotenuse, so they cannot be corresponding sides.
O C. The two triangles are congruent by SSS, not the HL Theorem.
OD. In AEFG, EG is a leg, and in ADEG, EG is the hypotenuse, so they cannot be corresponding sides.
