Side Side Side Postulate (SSS) • If 3 sides of one triangle are congruent to the three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
When proving 2 triangles are congruent by SSS: *You need to state that each side in one triangle is congruent to the corresponding side of the other triangle before using the SSS Postulate to prove the two triangles are congruent!
Example 1:Prove Given: M is the midpoint of and
Example 3: Use the given coordinates to determine if the triangles are congruent. A(-5,0), B(0,0), and C(0,4) D(-3,-2), E(2,-2), and E(2,-6)
