To write: A paragraph proof for the theorem about right triangle.
Answer to Problem 21E
A paragraph proof for the theorem about right triangle is explained below.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given theorem is Hypotenuse-Angle (HA) Congruence Theorem.
Calculation:
Consider the figure following HA Congruence Theorem:
If an angle and hypotenuse of a right triangle are congruent to an angle and the hypotenuse of a second right triangle then the triangles are congruent.
The objective is to write a paragraph proof for the above theorem about right triangles
Since, the given two right triangles, so the triangles have congruent right angles by the Right Angles Congruence Theorem.
Also another pair of angles and a pair of corresponding sides are congruent.
By AAS Congruence Theorem the given triangles are Congruence.
