Aim:How do we review congruent triangle proofs? DO NOW: List as many ‘reasons’ as you can for congruent triangles
LIST OF REASONS • 1. Perpendicular lines form right angles • 2. All right angles are congruent • 3. If 2 angles are congruent their supplements are congruent • 4. Reflexive Property • 5. Addition Property • 6. Subtraction Property • 7. If 2 angles are congruent their complements are congruent • 8. A midpoint divides a line segment into 2 congruent parts • 9. If 2 sides in a triangle are congruent, then opposite angles are congruent • 10. A tri-sector divides a line segment into 3 congruent parts • 11. Corresponding parts in congruent triangles are congruent (CPCTC) • 12. Halves of congruent angles are congruent • 13. Halves of congruent line segments are congruent • 14. If 2 angles in a triangle are congruent, then opposite sides are congruent • 15. If at last two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the triangle is isosceles • 16. If a triangle contains a right angle, it is a right triangle
Ways to prove triangles • SAS • Side-Angle-Side • AAS • Angle-Angle-Side • ASA • Angle-Side-Angle • SSS • Side-Side-Side
REMEMBER! • The Donkey Theorem • ASS (SSA) DOES NOT PROVE TRIANGLES CONGRUENT! • Also: AAA only proves triangles similar, and not congruent! • HY-LEG (Which is the hypotenuse and a leg) can only be used in RIGHT TRIANGLES!
Homework :’( • The homework can be found on the other side of your Reasons handout! • Have fun? • Good luck on the Regents!~
