HL Congruent Triangles
(Complete Item Description)
- Abstract:
An interactive applet and associated web page that shows how right triangles that have the hypotenuse and one other leg the same length must be congruent. The applet shows two right triangles, one of which can be reshaped by dragging any vertex. The other changes to remain congruent to it, and the hypotenuse and leg are outlined in bold to show they are the same measure and are the elements being used to prove congruence. The web page describes all this and has links to other related pages. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.
