3.8 HL Postulate Postulate: If there exists a correspondence between the vertices of two right triangles such that the hypotenuse and a leg of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of the other triangle, the two right triangles are congruent. HL This only works with right triangles!
A 1 2 B D 3 4 C Given: AB = AD <1 = <2 Thus <3 = <4 So BC = CD, AC = AC Then triangle ABC = Triangle ADC SSS
A B D C C Leg, right angle, hypotenuse, S A S
Given circle O YO ⊥ YX ZO ⊥ ZX Conclude: YX = ZX Y X O Z • Statement Reason • Circle O Given • OY = OZ Radii of circle are congruent (L) • OX = OX Reflexive (H) • <OYX = <OZX ⊥ ⇒ right < (<) • △OYX = △OZX HL (2, 3, 4) • YX = ZX CPCTC
Remember, you still have three things to prove congruent: • Right angle • One leg • Hypotenuse
