Answer to Problem 4CT

Hypotenuse leg

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given statement is “The method that can be used to prove right triangles congruent,

but cannot be used with other type of triangles is the $\underset{\_}{}$ method”,

The Hypotenuse Leg Theorem states that, “If the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and leg of another right triangle, then the two

triangles are congruent.

This theorem only applicable only for right angle triangles.

Hence, the blank is filled with term Hypotenuse Leg.
