They appear to be congruent, but mathamaticly it can not be proven congruent. Ther reason, imagin a circle drawn were the 'a' line is the radius of the circle and the center of the circle is the connection points of lines 'a' & 'c' ( the two lines other then the hypotinus) You will see that the circle crosses the 'b' line (hypotinus) a secound time. That means that there is a second set of angle that this set of sides can create a triangle for. Therefor the triangle can not be proven congruent mathamaticly.
