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.
