4.9 (M1) Prove Triangles
Congruent by SAS & HL
Vocabulary
In a right triangle, the sides adjacent to
the right angle are the legs.
 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.


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.
Tell whether the pair of triangles is congruent or not
and why.
