The side opposite B is AC,
called the hypotenuse.
AB and BC are called the legs.

Theorem 7.1
HL Congruence Theorem. If the
hypotenuse and a leg of one
right triangle are congruent to
the hypotenuse and
corresponding leg of another
right triangle, then the two
triangles are congruent.

Theorem 7.3
HA Congruence Theorem. If
the hypotenuse and an acute
angle of one right triangle are
congruent to the hypotenuse
and corresponding acute angle
of another right triangle, then
the two triangles are
congruent.

Theorem 7.4
LA Congruence Theorem. If a
leg and one of the acute angles
of a right triangle are
congruent to the
corresponding leg and acute
angle of another right triangle,
then the two triangles are
congruent.

For the next 5 questions
decide whether the right
triangles are congruent. If they
are, identify the theorem that
justifies it. Be prepared to give
the congruence statement.
