CONGRUENCE IN RIGHT TRIANGLES Lesson 4-6
Right Triangles Parts of a Right Triangle: Legs: the two sides adjacent to the right angle Hypotenuse: the longest side and the side opposite the right angle legs hypotenuse
What is the Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) Thm? If the hypotenuse and a leg of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent. Congruent triangles by HL Thm
In order to use HL Theorem… Before your congruence statement, you need to state: …. Are right angles | defn of perpendicular …. Are right triangles | defn of right triangles . . … | HL Thm
