Proving Triangles Congruent with HL Postulate
The HL Congruence Postulate in plane geometry helps prove triangles congruent when the hypotenuse and a leg of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle. Explore examples and proofs using the HL Theorem to deepen your understanding of triangle congruence.

Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) Congruence: If the Hypotenuse and a Leg of One Right Triangle are Congruent to the Hypotenuse and Corresponding Leg of Another Right Triangle, Then the Triangles are Congruent. ?? ?? ? ????? ???????? ?? ?? ??? ?? ?? ,???? ??? ???. ? ? ? ? ? ?
HL Theorem, you must show the following: There are 2 Right Triangles The Triangles Have Hypotnuses There is One Pair of Congruent Legs
