What is Hypotenuse Leg?

If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.


If the hypotenuse and leg of a triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and leg of another triangle are the triangles congruent?

yes


How do you find the hypotenuse with only a leg and a degree?

If it's a right angle triangle and an acute angle plus the length of a leg is given then use trigonometry to find the hypotenuse.


What are right triangle congruence theorem?

1.HyL Theorem (Hypotenuse-Leg) - if the hypotenuse and leg of one triangle is congruent to another triangle's hypotenuse and leg, then the triangles are congruent. 2.HyA (Hypotenuse-Angle) - if the hypotenuse and angle of one triangle is congruent to another triangle's hypotenuse and angle, then the triangles are congruent. 3.LL (Leg-Leg) if the 2 legs of one triangle is congruent to another triangle's 2 legs, then the triangles are congruent. 4.LA (Leg-Angle) if the angle and leg of one triangle is congruent to another triangle's angle and leg, then the triangles are congruent.

What are the lengths of the longer leg and the hypotenuse if the shorter leg is 10 on a 30-60-90 triangle?

The short side will be opposite the 30 degree angle. The longer leg is 10*sqrt(3) = 17.32 and the hypotenuse is 20.


Which triangle has two equal sides anad a 90 degree angle?

An isosceles right triangle. Each of the acute angles is 45 degrees. The legs are equal, and each leg is sqrt(2) times half of the length of the hypotenuse.
