Theorem 5. 9 HL (or Hy-Leg) n If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to corresponding parts of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent. 30 January 2022 Geometry 5. 5 Proving Triangles Congruent: SSS HL 7
Corollary LL (or Leg-Leg) n If the two legs of a right triangle are congruent to corresponding parts of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent. (This is just SAS. ) 30 January 2022 Geometry 5. 5 Proving Triangles Congruent: SSS HL 8
Example B 50° 10 cm 90° ? A D Is ABD CBD? 10 cm 40° C 1. ABD and CBD are both rt. s. 2. AB = CB (they’re both 10 cm) 3. The triangles share BD. 4. The hypotenuse and leg are congruent ABD CBD by HL. 30 January 2022 Geometry 5. 5 Proving Triangles Congruent: SSS HL 9
