4-6 Congruence in Right Triangles Other ways to prove triangles congruent
Working with Right Triangles Before we can use any of these Theorems we must first state that we are working with Right Triangles. How do we know we have a Right Triangle? We must then first identify that some angles are right angles.
Definitions Hypotenuse in a right triangle it is the side opposite the right angle. Legs the other 2 sides of a right triangle.
HL (Hypotenuse Leg) Theorem If the hypotenuse and a leg of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
