What kind of triangles have a hypotenuse?

anonymous · Answer

i do not know what it means im assum,ing that is what it means

mertsj · Answer

If you prove triangles congruent by HL that means that the hypotenuse and one leg of the first triangle must be congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of the second triangle.

mertsj · Answer

That's why it is abbreviated HL it means hypotenuse-leg
