  1. Yes; use the congruent hypotenuses and leg BC to prove ABCDCB LM LO AM CN or MD NB Congruence in Right Triangles GEOMETRY LESSON 4-6 For Exercises 1 and 2, tell whether the HL Theorem can be used to prove the triangles congruent. If so, explain. If not, write not possible. 1.2. For Exercises 3 and 4, what additional information do you need to prove the triangles congruent by the HL Theorem? 3.LMXLOX4.AMD CNB Notpossible 4-6

  2. Using Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles GEOMETRY LESSON 4-7 (For help, go to Lessons 1-1 and 4-3.) 1. How many triangles will the next two figures in this pattern have? 2. Can you conclude that the triangles are congruent? Explain. a.  AZK and DRS b.  SDR and JTN c.  ZKA and NJT For every new right triangle, segments connect the midpoint of the hypotenuse with the midpoints of the legs of the right triangle, creating two new triangles for every previous new triangle. The first figure has 1 triangle. The second has 1 + 2, or 3 triangles. The third has 3 + 4, or 7 triangles. The fourth will have 7 + 8, or 15 triangles. The fifth will have 15 + 16, or 31 triangles. b. Two pairs of angles are congruent. One pair of sides is also congruent, and, since it is opposite a pair of corresponding congruent angles, the triangles are congruent by AAS. c.  Since AZK  DRS and SDR  JTN, by the Transitive Property of , ZKA NJT. a. Two pairs of sides are congruent. The included angles are congruent. Thus, the two triangles are congruent by SAS. Check Skills You’ll Need 4-7

  3. Using Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles GEOMETRY LESSON 4-7 Overlapping triangles share part or all of one or more sides. Some triangle relationships are difficult to see because the triangles overlap. Overlapping triangles may have a common side or angle. You can simplify your work with overlapping triangles by separating and redrawing the triangles. 4-7

  4. Identify the overlapping triangles. Parts of sides DG and EG are shared by DFG and EHG. These parts are HG and FG, respectively. Using Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles GEOMETRY LESSON 4-7 Identifying Common Parts Name the parts of their sides that DFG and EHG share. Quick Check 4-7
