which congruence postulate or theorem would you use to prove MEX?
HL congruence theorem
The HL theorem is a special case of the postulate?
SSS
To use the HL theorem to prove two triangles are congruent the triangles must be right trianglesWhich other conditions must also be met?
1. There are two right triangles. 2. They have congruent hypotenuses. 3. They have one pair of congruent legs.
What is HL in geometry?
Ah, happy little question there, friend! HL in geometry stands for "Hypotenuse Leg." It's a shortcut we use to prove that two right triangles are congruent. Just remember, in the world of geometry, HL is like a trusty brush in your painting kit - it helps bring harmony and balance to your mathematical creations.
What does hl mean in reference to geometry?
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.
