These statements are the congruence statements for right triangles: HA, LL, LA, and HL. You will need to use them for congruence statements. Match the abbreviation to its description.

1.A hypotenuse and an acute angle define congruence.HA

2.A hypotenuse and a leg define congruence.HL 3.A leg and an acute angle define congruence.LL 4.Two legs define congruence. LA

Answer:- HA : - A hypotenuse and an acute angle define congruence.

HL :-A hypotenuse and a leg define congruence.

LL :-Two legs define congruence.

LA :-A leg and an acute angle define congruence.

Explanation:-

HA Theorem :- When hypotenuse and one acute angle of a triangle is congruent to hypotenuse and one acute angle of other triangle then triangles are congruent.

HL Theorem:- When hypotenuse and one leg of a triangle is congruent to hypotenuse and one leg of other triangle then triangles are congruent.

LL Theorem :- When two legs of a triangle is congruent to the two legs of other triangle the triangles are congruent.

LA Theorem :-When one leg and one acute angle of a triangle is congruent to one leg and one acute angle of other triangle then triangles are congruent.
