You can't use SSA or ASS as a postulate because it doesn't determine that the triangles are congruent; right triangles are most likely determined by HL: hypotenuse leg- genius!

When a triangle is not a right triangle
I quote " The square on the hypotenuse of a rightangled triangle..."
A right triangle is easy, simply multiply the two sides and divide by two. A non-right triangle is a bit more of a challenge. You have to make it a right triangle by adding a right triangle to it. Calculate and then subtract the area of what you had to add.
No. Given a triangle with only the right angle and the hypotenuse, you cannot calculate the other sides nor the other angles.
Add up the sides.
