The diagram shows the following congruent parts. CAMA CPAMPA PAPA Congruence in Right Triangles LESSON 4-6 Additional Examples One student wrote “ CPAMPA by SAS” for the diagram below. Is the student correct? Explain. There are two pairs of congruent sides and one pair of congruent angles, but the congruent angles are not included between the corresponding congruent sides. The triangles are not congruent by the SAS Postulate, but they are congruent by the HL Theorem. Quick Check
