In quadrilateral ABCD, the midpoints of opposite sides are joined to form two intersecting segments. Try drawing other quadrilaterals and joining opposite midpoints. What can you conclude about these segments in each case?
In a right triangle, the sides that form the right angle are the legs; the longest side opposite the right angle is the hypotenuse. Some textbooks say that when two right triangles have congruent pairs of legs, the right triangles are congruent by the reason LL. In our work, LL is just a special case of one of the postulates in this section. Which postulate is that?
