Assume you are given two right triangles with congruent hypotenuses and wish to show that they are congruent what denote a congruence thereom for right triangles may be of use?

Assume you are given two right triangles with congruent hypotuneses and wish to show that they are congruent Which congruence theorem for right triangles that may be of use?
The HA and HL theorems for right triangles or the Pythagorean theorem might be of use.
Are two right triangles congruent why or why not?
Not necessarily. Even if all three angles of one triangle are the same as the corresponding angles of the other, the triangles may be similar but not congruent. And in this case, you don't even know that all three angles are the same.
Can the Third angle theorem prove that the ASS triangle is congruent?
No, because the third-angle theorem requires that you know two angles of each of the triangles. Assuming ASS, you only know one angle. In fact, two triangles may have the same ASS and not be congruent. See if you can make two non-congruent triangles with Angle 60 deg, Side 10, and Side 9.
Are sides on a triangle congruent?
Free Math Study GroupCongruent TrianglesDefinition: Triangles are congruent when all corresponding sides and interior angles arecongruent. The triangles will have the same shape and size, but one may be a mirror image of the other.In the simple case below, the two triangles PQR and LMN are congruent because every corresponding side has the same length, and every corresponding angle has the same measure. The angle at P has the same measure (in degrees) as the angle at L, the side PQ is the same length as the side LM etc.Try this Drag any orange dot at P,Q,R. The other triangle LMN will change to remain congruent to it.(If there is no image below, see support page.)
Are two triangles with corresponding congruent angles congruent?
No, they are similar. They may be congruent, but they need not be.
If two lines are cut by a transversal are the corresponding angles congruent?
No. Angles are not congruent. (Triangles may be congruent.)
Which explains why AAA is not enough to prove two triangles congruent?
Two triangles with three congruent angles may have different side lengths.
what- If you are given or can prove that two triangles are congruent, then you may use CPCTC to prove that the angles or sides are?
congruent

Why are the two triangles congruent?
They may not be. Depends on the triangles! All the angles and sides have to be the same to be congruent. They would be identical. The same angles but proportionally larger or smaller side lengths = similar.

How do you prove that any 2 polygons are congruent?
Just because they look the same does not mean they are. Normally if sides are congruent they are marked by the same indicator. Which is usually a line, number, or letter. Same thing with angles, except angles would not use lines to indicate congruency. If you have any three congruent parts on triangles (the number may change due the shape) then those triangles are congruent.
Name the type of special quadrilateral that will appear when you join two congruent scalene right triangles Hint Make a sketch to help you answer AND if you flip one of the two triangles you may find?
