HL congruence theorem
It is a special case of:the 3 sides (SSS) congruence, using Pythagoras,the 2 sides and included angle (SAS) congruence, using the sine rule.
geometry
HL Congruence Theorem says: If the hypotenuse and one leg of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the two right triangles are congruent.sss
HL - usually in upper case - stands for "Hypotenuse - Leg". It is a specialized triangle congruence theorem, the "regular ones are SSS, SAS, and ASA. HL says that in two right triangles, if the hypoteneuses and a pair of legs (the sides forming the right angle) are congruent, then the triangles are congruent.
