Question

A triangle $LMN$can be constructed when $\angle LMN={90}^o,$$NL=5cm,$and $MN=3cm$by using the __________ criterion.

• A. $SAS$
• B. $RHS$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$RHS$

Here, In the triangle $LMN$

(Right-angled at $\angle M$ )

$MN=3cm$( one side of the triangle)

$NL=5cm,$(Hypotenuse of the triangle)

we can construct a right-angled triangle if the hypotenuse and one side of the triangle are given.

Hence, A triangle $LMN$can be constructed by $RHS$
