  1. Δ by SAS and SSS

  2. Review of Δs • Triangles that are the same shape and size are congruent. • Each triangle has three sides and three angles. • If all six of the corresponding parts are congruent then the triangles are congruent.

  3. Congruence Transformations • Congruency amongst triangles does not change when you… • slide, • turn, • or flip • … the triangles.

  4. So, to prove Δs  must we prove ALL sides & ALL s are  ? Fortunately, NO! • There are some shortcuts…

  5. Objectives • Use the SSS Postulate • Use the SAS Postulate

  6. Postulate 4.1 (SSS)Side-Side-Side  Postulate • If 3 sides of one Δ are  to 3 sides of another Δ, then the Δs are .

  7. E A F C D B More on the SSS Postulate If seg AB  seg ED, seg AC  seg EF, & seg BC  seg DF, then ΔABC ΔEDF.

  8. Given: QR  UT, RS  TS, QS = 10, US = 10 Prove: ΔQRS ΔUTS Example 1: U U Q Q 10 10 10 10 R R S S T T

  10. Postulate 4.2 (SAS)Side-Angle-Side  Postulate • If 2 sides and the included  of one Δ are  to 2 sides and the included  of another Δ, then the 2 Δs are .

  11. More on the SAS Postulate • If seg BC  seg YX, seg AC  seg ZX, & C X, then ΔABC  ΔZXY. B Y ) ( A C X Z
