Answer:

Explanation:

HL is the the Hypothenuse Leg Postulate that sais that

If the hypotenuse and leg of one triangle are congruent

to the hypotenuse and leg of another triangle

then the triangles are congruent.

Answer:

HL Postulate

Co vid-19 has led the world to go through a phenomenal transition .

E-learning is the future today.

Stay Home , Stay Safe and keep learning!!!

HL Postulate(Hypotenuse - Leg) or RHS theorem -> If any two right angles that have a congruent hypotenuse and a corresponding, congruent leg are congruent triangles.

AC ≅ DF , BC ≅ EF and ∠B ≅ ∠E ( both 90 0 )

∴ Δ ABC ≅ Δ DEF by RHS theorem

Theorem : Prove RHS theorem or postulate.

Given : AC = DF , BC = EF and ∠B = ∠E = 90 0

Prove that : ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF

Construction : Extend DE to G so that EG = AB. Join GF.

Statements

Reasons

1) AB = GE 1) Construction

2) ∠B = ∠FEG 2) Each 900

3) BC = EF 3) Given

4) ΔABC ≅ ΔGEF 4) By SAS postulate

5) ∠A = ∠G 5) CPCTC

6) AC = GF 6) If the two angles are congruent then angle opposite to them are equal

7) AC = DF 7) Given

8) DF = GF 8) By transitive property

9) ∠D = ∠G 9) Angles opposite to equal sides in ΔDGF are equal

10) ∠A = ∠D 10) From (5) and (9)

11) ∠B = ∠E 11) Given

12)∠A+∠B=∠D+∠E 12) Adding (10) and (11)

13) ∠C = ∠F 13) ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180

and ∠D + ∠E + ∠F = 1800

14) ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF 14) By SAS postulate and from (3) (7) and (13)
