How does sas theorem answer?
The SAS theorem is used to prove that two triangles are congruent. If the triangles have a side-angle-side that are congruent (it must be in that order), then the two triangles can be proved congruent. Using this theorem can in the future help prove corresponding parts are congruent among other things.
What is the hl theorem?
The hypotenuse leg theorem states that any two right triangles that have a congruent hypotenuse and a corresponding, congruent leg arecongruent triangles.
Postulate that states triangles are congruent if all sides from the triangles are congruent?
That's not a postulate. It's a theorem. And you have stated it.
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.
Which congruence theorem guarantees that right angled triangles are congruent?
The checking for right-angled triangles is RHS:Right angle - they both haver a right angleHypotenuse - the hypotenuse of the triangles are congruentSide - a corresponding side of the triangles are congruent.

What is the hl theorem?
The hypotenuse leg theorem states that any two right triangles that have a congruent hypotenuse and a corresponding, congruent leg arecongruent triangles.
What theorem or postulate can be used to justify that the two triangles are congruent?
Pythagorean theorem
The LA theorem says that two right triangles will be congruent if they have a congruent?
leg
Postulate that states triangles are congruent if all sides from the triangles are congruent?
That's not a postulate. It's a theorem. And you have stated it.
What is side angle side theorem?
It is a congruence theorem for triangles. It states that if you have two triangles in which two sides of one are congruent to two sides of the other, and the angles included by the sides are equal, then the triangles are congruent.
What are the four congruence theorems for a right triangle?
The four congruence theorem for right triangles are:- LL Congruence Theorem --> If the two legs of a right triangle is congruent to the corresponding two legs of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.- LA Congruence Theorem --> If a leg and an acute angle of a right triangles is congruent to the corresponding leg and acute angle of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.- HA Congruence Theorem --> If the hypotenuse and an acute angle of a right triangle is congruent to the corresponding hypotenuse and acute angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.- HL Congruence Theorem --> If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle is congruent to the corresponding hypotenuse and leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
The HA theorem requires that two right triangles have a congruent angle and a congruent?
hypotenuses

The HA and HL theorems for right triangles or the Pythagorean theorem might be of use.
The LL theorem states that for right triangles two congruent what are sufficient to prove congruence of the triangles?
LEGS
What is SAS Congruence Theorem?
The side-angle-side congruence theorem states that if you know that the lengths of two sides of two triangles are congruent and also that the angle between those sides has the same measure in both triangles, then the two triangles are congruent.
What is the donkey theorem?
When trying to prove two triangles congruent, you can use SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, HL, and HA patterns. However, the pattern A S S doesn't work. Instead of spelling or saying this word in class, you can refer to it as "the donkey theorem". You can look at the pattern in the two triangles and say "these two triangles are not congruent because of the donkey theorem." You CANNOT prove triangles incongruent with 'the donkey theorem', nor can you prove them congruent. It's mostly sort of a joke, you could say, but it's never useful. The reason is that if the two triangles ARE congruent, then of course there will be an unincluded congruent angle as well as two congruent sides. The theorem doesn't do anything left, right, forward or backward. It's not even really a theorem. :P
