Answer:

In \(\triangle shd\) and \(\triangle std\)

\(sd \perp ht\)

By definition of perpendicular: Lines that are right angle to each other.

\(\angle sdh \cong \angle sdt = 90^{\circ}\) [Right angle]

\(sh \cong st\)   [Hypotenuse side]       [Given]

Transitive property says that segment is congruent to itself.

\(sd \cong sd\)         [By transitive property]

HL theorem states that if the hypotenuse and one leg of right triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one leg of the another right angle , then the two triangle are congruent.

then by HL theorem;

\(\triangle shd \cong \triangle std\)          proved!
