Triangle Congruence: Objectives: Apply Deductive Skills To Show Congruence Between Right Triangles

This document discusses different theorems for proving right triangles are congruent: - Leg-Leg (LL) Congruence states if two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another, the triangles are congruent. - Leg-Angle (LA) Congruence states if one angle and its adjacent side of one triangle are congruent to those of another, the triangles are congruent. - Hypotenuse-Angle (HA) Congruence states if one acute angle and the hypotenuse of one triangle are congruent to those of another, the triangles are congruent. - Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) Congruence states if the hypotenuse and

Triangle Congruence

Objectives:
Apply deductive skills to show congruence
between right triangles:
• LL Congruence
• LA Congruence
• HA Congruence
• HL Congruence
What is a Right Triangle?
A right triangle is a
triangle with one right
angle. It consists of two
legs and a hypotenuse. 

The hypotenuse is the


longest side of the right
triangle and is the side
opposite the right angle.
A P
Example1: Given: C and are right angles.

Prove:
Solution: Proof: B C R Q

Statements Reasons
1. C and are right angles.
1. Given
2. C 2. Any two right angles are .

; 3. Given

4. 4. SAS Postulate
L-L THEOREM
(THE LEG LEG THEOREM)
If two legs of a right
triangle are congruent to
the two legs of another
right triangle, then the
two triangles are
congruent.
A P
Example1: Given: are right angles.

Prove: B C R Q
Solution: Proof:
Statements Reasons
1. are right triangles. 1. Given
2. 2. Any two right s are .

3. , 3. Given
4. 4. ASA Postulate
L-A THEOREM
( LEG-ANGLE THEOREM)
If a leg and an acute
angle of one right
triangle are congruent to
the corresponding leg
and an acute angle of
another then the
triangles are congruent.
A P
Example1: Given: are right triangles.

Prove: B C R Q
Solution: Proof:
Statements Reasons
1. are right triangles.
1. Given

2. 2. Any two right s are congruent.


3. 3. SAA Theorem
H-A THEOREM
( HYPOTENUSE-ACUTE THEOREM)
If the hypotenuse and an
acute angle of one right
triangle are congruent to the
corresponding hypotenuse
and an acute angle of
another, then the two
triangles are congruent.
H-L THEOREM
( HYPOTENUSE LEG THEOREM)
If the hypotenuse and a
leg of one right triangle
are congruent to the
corresponding
hypotenuse and a leg of
another then the two
triangles are congruent.
Directions:
State whether the triangles are congruent or
not. If the triangles are congruent, state
congruence statement and the name of the
postulate that guarantees congruency between
each pair of triangles.
