What does the HL theorem stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

The HL theorem stands for the Hypotenuse-Leg theorem, which states that if the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

What does the ASA theorem stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

The ASA theorem stands for the Angle-Side-Angle theorem, which states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

What does the SSS theorem stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

The SSS theorem stands for the Side-Side-Side theorem, which states that if all three sides of one triangle are equal to all three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
