Does the The Hypotenuse-Leg Congruence Postulate only apply to right triangles, or does it apply to all triangles.

Only right triangles have hypotenuses and legs.

For triangles, these are the three: 1. Side, Angle, Side 2. Angle, Angle, Side 3. Side, Side, Side They have to be in this order--as it is the order they appear in the triangles. For Right Angles, there are also four theorems. They are: 1. Hypotenuse Leg 2. Hypotenuse Angle 3. Leg Angle 4. Leg Leg Also, the Angle for #2 cannot be the right angle. Hope this helps!

the hypotenuse-leg congruence postulate applies ONLY to right triangles. ONLY right triangles have a hypotenuse AND legs.

only right triangles because other triangles dont have hypotenuses.

I havent learned that yet but i would probably have to say from my friends that it applies to all triangles
