Congruence in Right Triangles Chapter 4 Section 6
2
Objective Students will prove right triangles congruent using the Hypotenuse-Leg- Theorem
3
Right Triangle Leg Hypotenuse
4
Always opposite the right angle of a right triangle The longest side of the triangle
5
Legs Legs are the sides that create the right angle The two shorter sides of the right triangle
6
Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) Theorem If the hypotenuse and a leg of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of a nother right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
