  1. C H A P T E R 4 O B J E C T I V E S • Discover and explain sums of the measures of two and three interior angles of a triangle • Discover properties of the base angles and the vertex angle bisector in isosceles triangles • Discover inequalities among sides and angles in triangles • Investigate SSS, SAS, SSA, ASA, SAA, and AAA as potential shortcuts to proving triangle congruence • Show that pairs of angles or pairs of sides are congruent by identifying related triangles and proving them congruent, then applying CPCTC • Create flowchart proofs • Review algebraic properties and methods for solving linear equations • Develop logical and visual thinking skills • Develop inductive reasoning, problem solving skills, and cooperative behavior • Practice using geometry tools JRLeon Discovering Geometry Chapter 4.2 HGSH

  2. Algebra I Review These properties allow you to perform the same operation on both sides of an equation. This property allows you to check your solution to an equation by replacing each variable with its value. Substitution is also used to solve some equations and in writing proofs.

  4. How long must each side of this drawbridge be so that the bridge spans the river when both sides come down? The sum of the lengths of the two parts of the drawbridge must be equal to or greater than the distance across the waterway. Triangles have similar requirements.

  7. So far in this chapter, you have studied interior angles of triangles. Triangles also have exterior angles. If you extend one side of a triangle beyond its vertex, then you have constructed an exterior angle at that vertex. Each exterior angle of a triangle has an adjacent interior angle and a pair of remote interior angles. The remote interior angles are the two angles in the triangle that do not share a vertex with the exterior angle. JRLeon Discovering Geometry Chapter 4.3 HGSH

  9. Page 221 A building contractor has just assembled two massive triangular trusses to support the roof of a recreation hall. Before the crane hoists them into place, the contractor needs to verify that the two triangular trusses are identical. Must the contractor measure and compare all six parts of both triangles? Third Angle Conjecture : If there is a pair of angles congruent in each of two triangles, then the third angles must be congruent. But will this guarantee that the trusses are the same size? You probably need to also know something about the sides in order to be sure that two triangles are congruent. Recall from earlier exercises that fewer than three parts of one triangle can be congruent to corresponding parts of another triangle, without the triangles being congruent. Do all six pairs of congruencies need to be shown in order to prove that two triangles are congruent ? JRLeon Discovering Geometry Chapter 4.4 HGSH

  10. So let’s begin looking for congruence shortcuts by comparing three parts of each triangle. There are six different ways that the three corresponding parts of two triangles may be congruent. They are diagrammed below. Some of these will be congruence shortcuts, and some will not. You will investigate three of these cases in this lesson and the other three in the next lesson to discover which of these six possible cases turn out to be congruence shortcuts and which do not.
