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.
The hypotenuse leg theorem states that any two right triangles that have a congruent hypotenuse and a corresponding, congruent leg arecongruent triangles.
That's not a postulate. It's a theorem. And you have stated it.
The HA and HL theorems for right triangles or the Pythagorean theorem might be of use.
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.
