4.3 Δ s. Objectives. Name and label corresponding parts of congruent triangles Identify congruence transformations. Δ s. Triangles that are the same shape and size are congruent. Each triangle has three sides and three angles.
E N D
Objectives • Name and label corresponding parts of congruent triangles • Identify congruence transformations
Δs • Triangles that are the same shape and size are congruent. • Each triangle has three sides and three angles. • If all six of the corresponding parts are congruent then the triangles are congruent.
CPCTC • CPCTC – Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent • Be sure to label Δs with proper mappings (i.e. if D L, V P, W M, DV LP, VW PM, and WD ML then we must write ΔDVW ΔLPM)
Congruence Transformations • Congruency amongst triangles does not change when you… • slide, • turn, • or flip • … the triangles.

So, to prove Δs must we prove ALL sides & ALL s are ? Fortunately, NO! • There are some shortcuts…
Objectives • Use the SSS Postulate • Use the SAS Postulate
Postulate 4.1 (SSS)Side-Side-Side Postulate • If 3 sides of one Δ are to 3 sides of another Δ, then the Δs are .
