Prove that Two right triangles are congr...

Prove that Two right triangles are congruent if the hypotenuse and one side of one triangle are respectively equal to the hypotenuse and one side of the other triangle.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


In `/_\ABC` and `/_\DEF`,
Hypotenuse is equal in both the two right triangles.
`AC=DF`
One side of the triangle is equal to the other side of the triangle. Let us assume that the two sides are equal.
`AB=DE`
The two triangles are right angled so both the triangles have 90 degree in common.
` /_ABC=/_DEF`

Which of the following statements are true (T) and which are false (F): Side opposite to equal angles of a triangle may be unequal. Angle opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal. The measure of each angle of an equilateral triangle is 60^0 If the altitude from one vertex of a triangle bisects the opposite side, then the triangle may be isosceles. The bisectors of two equal angles of a triangle are equal. If the bisector of the vertical angle of a triangle bisects the base, then the triangle may be isosceles. The two altitudes corresponding to two equal sides of a triangle need not be equal. If any two sides of a right triangle are respectively equal to two sides of other right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. Two right triangles are congruent if hypotenuse and a side of one triangle are respectively equal to the hypotenuse and a side of the other triangle.
