2. Triangle
3. Right Angle
4. Opposite
B. Presenting Examples/Instances of the
New Lesson
Now that you have already an in depth understanding
regarding Triangle Congruence Postulate, let us now
proceed with our new lesson, proving statements on
triangles. You will illustrate another theorem to
prove that the triangles are congruent, but the
triangles you are going to encounter revolve around
right triangles alone.
Below is the definition and illustration of Right
Triangle.
The students will read and illustrate the definition of
Right Triangle.
Right Triangle
A right-angled triangle is a triangle with one of the
angles as 90°. A 90-degree angle is called a right
angle, and hence the triangle with a right angle is
called a right triangle. The longest side of the right
triangle, which is also the side opposite the right
angle, is the hypotenuse and the arms of the right are
the legs or the height and base.

B Leg C
C. Discussing New Concepts and
Practicing New Skills
In this lesson, you are going to prove statements on
right triangle congruence theorem. Today, you are
going to focus on the H-AA (Hypotenuse-Acute
Angle) congruence theorem.
Below is the definition and illustration of H-AA
(Hypotenuse-Acute Angle) congruence theorem.
The H-AA (The Hypotenuse-Acute Angle
Congruence Theorem)
If hypotenuse and an acute of one right triangle are
congruent to the corresponding hypotenuse and an
acute angle of another, then the two triangles are
congruent.
