SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on proving that segments AH and DK are equal to establish the Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) property of triangle congruency. The user has successfully proven that triangles ADK and ABH are congruent, which implies that corresponding sides are equal. Therefore, it is established that AH = DK as a result of the congruency of the two triangles.
