I will say the hypotenuse is 30 for each triangle.
I will say the height is 10 for each triangle.
I will say the base is 29 for each triangle.

True. Triangles are congruent.

you don't know if given triangles are right triangles

so, you just say since corresponding sides are equal triangles are congruent

You are right. Thanks.
