  1. Proving Triangles are Congruent SSS SAS ASA AAS

  2. SIDE-SIDE-SIDE (SSS) CONGRUENCE POSTULATE If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. SIDE-ANGLE-SIDE (SAS) CONGRUENCE 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 two triangles are congruent.

  3. Using the SSS Congruence Postulate

  4. Using the SAS Congruence Postulate

  5. Practice: Decide whether enough information is given to prove that the triangles are congruent. If there is enough information, state the congruence postulate you would use YES, SSS YES, SAS NO

  6. What other information do you need in order to prove the triangles congruent using the SAS Congruence Postulate?

  7. ANGLE-SIDE-ANGLE (ASA) CONGRUENCE POSTULATE If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. ANGLE-ANGLE-SIDE (AAS) CONGRUENCE THEOREM If two angles and a nonincluded side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the corresponding nonincluded side of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

  8. DEF State the third congruence that must be given to prove that ABC @

  9. In each pair of triangles, parts are congruent as marked. Which pair of triangles is congruent by ASA?

  10. What else must you know to prove the triangles congruent by ASA? By SAS?
