Warm Up 12/5/12State the 6 congruent parts of the triangles below. 10 minutes End
If 2 Triangles have 3 Congruent Sides and 3 Congruent Angles, then the 2 Triangles are _________ Do we need all six of these to guarantee two triangles are congruent?
Today’s Objective • Students will be able to use triangle congruence postulates and theorems to prove that triangles are congruent.
If the 3 sides of one triangle are congruent to the 3 sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
If 2 sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to 2 sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the 2 triangles are congruent.
If 2 angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to 2 angles and the included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
If 2 angles and a nonincluded side of one triangle are congruent to 2 angles and the corresponding nonincluded side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Special Theorem for Right Triangles: ***Only true for Right Triangles*** Hypotenuse: Longest side, always opposite the right angle. Legs: Other 2 shorter sides (form the right angle)
Hypotenuse – Leg (HL) Theorem If the hypotenuse and a leg of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
We now have the following: • SSS – side, side, side • SAS – Side, Angle (between), Side • ASA – Angle, Side (between), Angle • AAS – Angle, Angle, Side (Not between) • HL – Hypotenuse, Leg
NEVER USE THESE!!!!!! Or the Reverse (NEVER write a curse word on your paper!!!)
Proving ‘s are Which Theorem proves the Triangles are 1.
