  1. Triangle Congruence: ASA and AAS Geometry H2 (Holt 4-6) K. Santos

  2. Included Side Included side---is the common side of two consecutive angles in a triangle A B C is the included side of < A and <B

  3. Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Congruence Postulate (4-6-1) If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. Given: <A <D A D E <B <F B C F Then: DFE

  4. Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) Congruence Theorem (4-6-2) If two angles and a nonincluded side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding angles and nonincludedside of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. Given: <A <D A D E <B <F B C F Then: DFE Another way the triangles could have been congruent by AAS would be to use the same angles with

  5. Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) Congruence Theorem (4-6-3) If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. B C D A F E Given: ABC and DEF are right triangles Then: DEF

  6. Methods to prove two triangles are congruent Five ways to prove two triangles are congruent: SSS Postulate SAS Postulate ASA Postulate AAS Theorem HL Theorem

  7. Example Write a congruence statement for each pair of triangles. Name the postulate or theorem that justifies your statement. M 1. Given: < P < N < PMO < NMO P O N • V W Z Y

  8. Example Determine if you can use ASA or AAS to prove M O is a midpoint of N O P Q

  9. Proof 1: Given: < S < Q P bisects <SRQ S Q Prove: R Statements Reasons • < S < Q 1. 2. bisects <SRQ 2. 3. < PRS < PRQ 3. 4. 4. 5.5.

  10. Proof 2: Given: ⟘ A < B < D Prove: DC B C D Statements Reasons 1. ⟘ 1. 2. <ACB and <ACD are right 2. angles • <ACB 3. 4. < B < D 4. 5. 5. 6. DC 6.

  11. Proof 3: Given: |A B | D is a midpoint of Prove: C E D Statements Reasons 1. | 1. 2. <ACD <BDE 2. 3. | 3. 4. <ADC <BED 4. 5. D is a midpoint of 5. 6. 6. 7. 7.
