Directions
You can move the points around. The segments on the right will always maintain that AB = DE and side across from the right angle is the hypotenuse.
Try to make a triangle.
If the triangle you make is green, then the triangles are congruent. If it is red then they are not.
Can you find a pair of non-congruent triangles?
HL Postulate Exploration
Complete the following:
What type of triangles are both figures?
Did knowing the hypotenuse, leg, and right angle provide enough pieces to make a congruent triangle? Were you able to find a non congruent triangle?
