1
5-2 Right Triangles OBJECTIVE: To recognize and use tests for congruence of right triangles.
2
Theorem: LL (Leg-Leg) If the legs of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding legs of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
3
Theorem: HA (hypotenuse-angle) If the hypotenuse and an acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and an acute angle of another right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
4
Theorem: LA (leg-angle) If one leg and an acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding leg and acute angle of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
5
Theorem: HL (hypotenuse-leg) If the hypotenuse and a leg of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and corresponding leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
