Choose the correct answer below. AABC and APQR are right triangular sections of a fire escape, as shown. Is each story of the building the same height? Explain. O A. No, because the leg AB is not congruent to the leg PQ. O B. No, because the hypotenuse AC is not congruent to the hypotenuse PR. O C. Yes, because the triangles are congruent by the Third Angles Theorem. So, ZC ZR. D. Yes, because the triangles are congruent by the Hypotenuse-Leg Theorem. So, BC QR.
