4-5 Hypotenuse Leg Congruence (HL)

Front

What does HL stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

HL stands for Hypotenuse Leg.

Front

What is the Hypotenuse Leg (HL) Theorem?

Back

The HL Theorem states that if the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Front

Which postulate or theorem proves the triangle congruent?

Back

HL: Hypotenuse Leg.

Front

What are the criteria for triangles to be congruent by the HL Theorem?

Back

1. Both triangles must be right triangles. 2. The hypotenuses must be congruent. 3. One pair of legs must be congruent.
