Notes 4.1-4.3 Triangle Congruence Learning TargetsI can recognize congruentfigures and their corresponding parts. I can prove triangles congruent using SSS and SAS. I can prove triangles congruent using ASA and AAS.
Congruence Two geometric figures with exactly the same size and shape.
Corresponding Parts B A C E F D If all six pairs of corresponding parts (sides and angles) are congruent, then the triangles are congruent. Example 1 • AB DE • BC EF • AC DF • A D • B E • C F ABC DEF
SSS SAS ASA AAS Do you need all six ? NO !
Side-Side-Side (SSS) B A C E F • Example 1 • AB DE • BC EF • AC DF D ABC DEF
Included Angle The angle between two sides H G I
Side-Angle-Side (SAS) B E F A C D • AB DE • A D • AC DF ABC DEF included angle
Included Side The side between two angles GI GH HI
E Y S Included Side Name the included side: Y and E E and S S and Y YE ES SY
Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) B E F A C D • A D • AB DE • B E ABC DEF included side
Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) B E F A C D • A D • B E • BC EF ABC DEF Non-included side
Warning: No SSA Postulate There is no such thing as an SSA postulate! E B F A C D NOT CONGRUENT
Warning: No AAA Postulate There is no such thing as an AAA postulate! E B A C F D NOT CONGRUENT
SSS • ASA • SAS • AAS • SSA • AAA The Congruence Postulates
Name That Postulate (when possible) SAS ASA SSA SSS
Name That Postulate (when possible) AAA ASA SSA SAS
Name That Postulate (when possible) Vertical Angles Reflexive Property SAS SAS Reflexive Property Vertical Angles SSA SAS
Let’s Practice ACFE Indicate the additional information needed to enable us to apply the specified congruence postulate. For ASA: B D For SAS: AF For AAS:
