hypotenuse
HL and HA
The hypotenuse leg theorem states that any two right triangles that have a congruent hypotenuse and a corresponding, congruent leg arecongruent triangles.
Oh, what a lovely question! HL, which stands for Hypotenuse-Leg, is indeed a special case of the Side-Side-Angle postulate in geometry. When we have two triangles where we know the length of one side, the length of another side, and the measure of an angle not between those sides, we can use the SSA postulate to determine if the triangles are congruent. Keep exploring the beauty of geometry, my friend!
The HA and HL theorems for right triangles or the Pythagorean theorem might be of use.
