How are side angle side triangles and Hypotenuse leg alike?

"Hypotenuse-leg" is not necessarily the right-triangle version of "side-angle-side". It's the right-triangle version of "side-side-side", because if you know that it's a right triangle, and you know the hypotenuse and a leg, then you can calculate the length of the other leg. If you want to work with "side-angle-side", and you know the hypotenuse and a leg, then you can find the angle between them, because it's the angle whose cosine is (the known leg) divided by (the hypotenuse), and you can look it up.
