Best Answer

If the hypotenuse of a right triangle is congruent to the corresponding part

of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

==========================================

Another contributor, in shock, stopped by to point out:

That may (or may not) be a "hypotenuse theorem", but you really

need to be careful trying to use it, because it's not true!
