Answer

A) Yes B) ASA

Work Step by Step

A) For right triangles, hypotenuse angle can also be used to show congruence. Since these are both right triangles with corresponding hypotenuses and angles being congruent, it follows that they are congruent by HA. B) Since angles A and D are congruent with the right triangles, we know that angles B and E are also congruent. Thus, the two triangles are congruent by ASA.
