is a 3-4-5 right triangle (leg lengths: 3 and 4) while has leg lengths of 3 and 5 so it has a hypotenuse of . Only one pair of corresponding sides are congruent so we can conclude that the triangles are not congruent.
So, the correct answer is choice
If is at , then will now have leg lengths of 3 and 4 so it has a hypotenuse of . Since three corresponding sides are congruent, then the two triangles are congruent by SSS.
So, the correct answer is choice
