    LL

    Step-by-step explanation:

    You are given two congruent legs: BC≅BC and AC≅DC. The fact that it is a right triangle lets you invoke the LL theorem of congruence for right triangles. (This is a special case of the SAS theorem, where the A is 90°.)

    Answer: SAS congruence postulate

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given : Triangles ABC and DBC have the following characteristics:

    BC is a side of both triangles

    ∠ACB and ∠DCB are right angles

    AC ≅ DC

    Using the given information, we have made the following diagram.

    Now, in ΔABC and ΔDBC

    BC = BC [By Reflexive property]

    ∠ACB and ∠DCB = 90° [Measure of right angle = 90°]

    AC ≅ DC [Given ]

    So by SAS congruence postulate, we have

    ΔABC ≅ ΔDBC

    SAS congruence postulate : if two sides and their included angle of a triangle are congruent to two sides and their included angle of second triangle then the two triangles are said to be congruent.
