Answer:

  d.  If the hypotenuse and an acute angle of a right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse, acute angle, and right angle form a AAS triple. When these are congruent between two right triangles, the triangles are congruent by the AAS postulate.

Answer:

d. if the hypotenuse and an acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and an acute angle of another right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
