SSS AND SASCONGRUENCE POSTULATES The SSS Congruence Postulate is a shortcut for provingtwo triangles are congruent without using all six pairsof corresponding parts.
Using the SSS Congruence Postulate Prove that PQWTSW. The marks on the diagram show that PQTS, PWTW, andQWSW. SOLUTION Paragraph Proof So by the SSS Congruence Postulate, you know that PQW TSW.

Congruent Triangles in a Coordinate Plane AC FH ABFG Use the SSS Congruence Postulate to show that ABCFGH. SOLUTION AC = 3 and FH= 3 AB = 5 and FG= 5
Congruent Triangles in a Coordinate Plane d = (x2 – x1 )2+ (y2 – y1 )2 d = (x2 – x1 )2+ (y2 – y1 )2 BC = (–4 – (–7))2+ (5– 0)2 GH = (6 – 1)2+ (5– 2)2 = 32+ 52 = 52+ 32 = 34 = 34 Use the distance formula to find lengths BC and GH.
Congruent Triangles in a Coordinate Plane BCGH BC = 34 and GH= 34 All three pairs of corresponding sides are congruent, ABCFGH by the SSS Congruence Postulate.
