First we are going to mention the postulate. It is going to be the SAS theorem.

As we can see in the image both triangles share one side, and since it is a parallelogram the hypotenuse is equal for both. So, we have 2 equal sides. And we can see each triangle has one right angle. So , the conditions of the SAS theorem are fulfilled.
