I can use the HL-Postulate to prove right triangles congruent. Day 2 3.8 HL - Postulate
The HL Postulate(Hypotenuse-Leg) • In two right triangles if the hypotenuses and a pair of corresponding legs are congruent then the triangles are congruent. (HL) Three pieces of information: Right angles 2) Congruent hypotenuses 3) Congruent leg
Example 1 • Given: , • Prove: △BRU≅△BRN B R U N
Example 2 • Given: ʘO, , • Prove: ∠NEO≅∠TEO N O E T
Example 3 • Given: ʘT, • Prove: ∠TSR≅∠TAR S T R A
