d. yes, SAS
The right angle is the angle between the legs of a right triangle, hence the situation
Side - Angle - Side (SAS)

SAS
The angles that lies in the end of the two equal sides will be equal and each will be 60. and the third angle will be 60 so that will happened in the other triangle and the angle in the middle between the two sides will be 60 so SAS

if two legs of one right triangle are congruent to the two legs of another right triangle, there can only be one length of the third leg that will enclose the shape and make it a triangle. so since we know the two legs are congruent to two legs and there must be a right angle in betweent there, its using the side-angle-side (SAS)

Yes. If the 2 legs of each right triangle
are congruent, then the Pythagorean theorem
tells us that the hypotenuses are also congruent.
So the triangles are congruent by SSS.

The answer is yes but you could actually prove that by both SSS and SAS but the first hand answer would be SAS
