Prove Triangles Congruent by ASA and AAS Warm Up Lesson Presentation Lesson Quiz
Tell whether the pair of triangles is congruent or not and why. Yes; HL Thm. ANSWER Warm-Up
The vertical angles are congruent, so two pairs of angles and a pair of non-included sides are congruent. The triangles are congruent by the AAS Congruence Theorem. Example 1 Can the triangles be proven congruent with the information given in the diagram? If so, state the postulate or theorem you would use. SOLUTION
There is not enough information to prove the triangles are congruent, because no sides are known to be congruent. Example 1 Can the triangles be proven congruent with the information given in the diagram? If so, state the postulate or theorem you would use. SOLUTION
Two pairs of angles and their included sides are congruent. The triangles are congruent by the ASA Congruence Postulate. Example 1 Can the triangles be proven congruent with the information given in the diagram? If so, state the postulate or theorem you would use. SOLUTION
C F, BC EF A D, GIVEN: ABCDEF PROVE: Example 2 Prove the Angle-Angle-Side Congruence Theorem.
ANSWER AAS;RTSand VTUare also congruent because they are also vertical angles. Guided Practice In the diagram at the right, what postulate or theorem can you use to prove that ? Explain. RSTVUT
ANSWER ABC GIVEN: m 1 + m 2 + m 3 = 180° PROVE: Guided Practice Rewrite the proof of the Triangle Sum Theorem on page227as a flow proof. Compare the flow proof with the two-column proof on page 227.
Guided Practice The two-column proof uses numbered steps with statements in the left column and a reason for each step in the right column. The flow proof shows the 5 main steps as boxes that are connected by arrows to show the flow of the logical argument.
In the diagram,CE BDand∠ CAB CAD. Write a flow proof to show ABEADE. ∠ CAB CAD GIVEN: CE BD, ABEADE PROVE: Example 3
The locations of tower A, tower B, and the fire form a triangle. The dispatcher knows the distance from tower A to tower Band the measures of Aand B. So, the measures of two angles and an included side of the triangle are known. Example 4
ANSWER The correct answer is B. Example 4 By the ASA Congruence Postulate, all triangles with these measures are congruent. So, the triangle formed is unique and the fire location is given by the third vertex. Two lookouts are needed to locate the fire.
ANSWER AAS Congruence Theorem Lesson Quiz In Example 3, suppose ABEADEis also given. What theorem or postulate besides ASA can you use to prove that ABEADE?
What If?In Example 4, suppose a fire occurs directly between tower B and tower C. Could towers B and C be used to locate the fire? Explain. ANSWER No; no triangle is formed by the location of the fire and towers, so the fire could be anywhere between towers B and C. Guided Practice
1. ANSWER ASA Lesson Quiz Tell whether each pair of triangle are congruent by SAS, ASA, SSS, AAS or HL. If it is not possible to prove the triangle congruent, write not necessarily congruent.
