Please explain me RHS rule. I have learnt about SSS, ASA, SAS. But I can't understand RHS rule

Dear Student, 

The RHS rule of congruency states that if in two right-angled triangles, the hypotenuse and one side of one triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one side of the other triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Dear student,

RHS is a congruency rule for triangles. RHS stands for Right angle, Hypotenuse, SIde. It means that two triangles are congruent when they are both right angled, have a common hypotenuse and have a common side. 
For example: The triangles given in the image are congruent by RHS rule since AC=PR, BC=PQ and Angle Q= Angle B = 90 degrees
