1. 4.9 (M1) Prove Triangles Congruent by SAS & HL

2. Vocabulary In a right triangle, the sides adjacent to the right angle are the legs. In a right triangle, the sides adjacent to the right angle are the legs. The side opposite the right angle is the hypotenuse. The side opposite the right angle is the hypotenuse. Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Congruence Postulate: If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, the two triangles are congruent. Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Congruence Postulate: If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, the two triangles are congruent.

3. Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) Congruence Theorem – If the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are congruent to they hypotenuse and leg of another right triangle, the triangles are congruent. Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) Congruence Theorem – If the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are congruent to they hypotenuse and leg of another right triangle, the triangles are congruent.

4. ANSWER Yes; HL Thm. Tell whether the pair of triangles is congruent or not and why.
