Theorem 4-6 • Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) Theorem • If the hypotenuse and a leg of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Proof of the HL Theorem • Given: ΔPQR & ΔXYZ are right triangles • Prove:
Example 2 • Given: AD is the perpendicular bisector of CE • Prove:
Example 3 • Given: W & K are right angles • Prove:
