Which is the hypotenuse-leg theorem?

Parth (parthkohli):

Do you mean 'Pythagorean Theorem'?

Parth (parthkohli):

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \text{ where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse} }\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

Parth (parthkohli):

Oh it's the congruency one, also known as RHS Congruency.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

is this something related to sine law?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

or was it cosine law

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk i am confused

Parth (parthkohli):

\(\textbf{R}\)ight angle. \(\textbf{H}\)ypotenuse. \(\textbf{S}\)ide.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here are the answer choices A. If the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are similar to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent. B. If the hypotenuse is congruent to the corresponding part of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent. C. If the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, then the triangles are equilateral. D. If the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Parth (parthkohli):

So, basically, two given congruent right triangles have a right angle and a corresponding hypotenuse. The corresponding base is equal.
