  4. Objectives • Use the SSS Postulate to test for triangle congruence • Use the SAS Postulate to test for triangle congruence

  5. Vocabulary • Included angle – the angle formed by two sides sharing a common end point (or vertex)

  6. Postulates • Side-Side-Side (SSS) Postulate:If the sides of one triangle are congruent to the sides of a second triangle, then the triangles are congruent. • Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Postulate:If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of a second triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

  10. COORDINATE GEOMETRYDetermine whether WDV MLPfor D(–5, –1), V(–1, –2), W(–7, –4), L(1, –5), P(2, –1), and M(4, –7). Explain. Use the Distance Formula to show that the corresponding sides are congruent.

  11. Answer: By definition of congruent segments, all corresponding segments are congruent. Therefore, WDV MLP by SSS.

  12. Determine whether ABC DEFfor A(5, 5), B(0, 3),C(–4, 1), D(6, –3), E(1, –1), and F(5, 1). Explain. Answer: By definition of congruent segments, all corresponding segments are congruent. Therefore, ABC DEF by SSS.

  13. Given: Prove:QRT STR Write a flow proof. Answer:

  14. Proof: Prove:ABC ADC Write a flow proof. Given:

  15. Determine which postulate can be used to prove that the triangles are congruent. If it is not possible to prove that they are congruent, write not possible. Two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of the other triangle. The triangles are congruent by SAS. Answer: SAS

  16. Determine which postulate can be used to prove that the triangles are congruent. If it is not possible to prove that they are congruent, write not possible. Each pair of corresponding sides are congruent. Two are given and the third is congruent by Reflexive Property. So the triangles are congruent by SSS. Answer: SSS

  17. Determine which postulate can be used to prove that the triangles are congruent. If it is not possible to prove that they are congruent, write not possible. a. Answer: SAS

  18. b. Answer: not possible

  19. Summary & Homework • Summary: • If all of the corresponding sides of two triangles are congruent, then the triangles are congruent (SSS). • If two corresponding sides of two triangles and the included angle are congruent, then the triangles are congruent (SAS). • Homework: • Pg 266-8: 4, 16-19, 24, 25
