Which rule shows the triangles are congruent?
Which congruence rule?
How it works.
marks:a right angle in each, and the hypotenuse with one leg marked equal
HL=hypotenuse and leg, for right triangles
HL
- 01
Read the marks first — they are the givens. Here there are a right angle in each, and the hypotenuse with one leg marked equal.
- 02
In a right triangle the hypotenuse and one leg give the other leg by Pythagoras, so the two triangles have to match.
- 03
So the rule is HL.
