Congruence Definitions & Postulates Two polygons are congruent if and only if 1. corresponding angles are . 2. corresponding sides are . Corresponding parts of congruent polygons are congruent. CPCPC True for all polygons, triangles our focus. Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent. CPCTC
Model Problem Hexagon ABCDEF hexagon STUVWX. Find the value of the variables? AB and ST are corresponding sides x = 10 F & X are corresponding ’s x = 1200 ED and WV are corresponding sides 2y = 8 y = 4
Corresponding Parts. Is ABC the exact same size and shape as GHI? How would you prove that it is? Measure corresponding sides and angles. What are the corresponding sides? angles?
Side-Angle-Side I.SAS = SAS Two triangles are congruent if the two sides of one triangle and the included angle are equal in measure to the two sides and the included angle of the other triangle. S represents a side of the triangle and A represents an angle. A A’ B C B’ C’ If CA = C'A', A =A', BA = B'A', then DABC = DA'B'C' IfSAS SAS, then the triangles are congruent
Model Problem Each pair of triangles has a pair of congruent angles. What pairs of sides must be congruent to satisfy the SAS postulate?
Model Problem Each pair of triangles is congruent by SAS. List the given congruent angles and sides for each pair of triangles.
Aim: Are there any shortcuts to prove triangles are congruent? Do Now: Is the given information sufficient to prove congruent triangles? SAS = SAS Two triangles are congruent if the two sides of one triangle and the included angle are equal in measure to the two sides and the included angle of the other triangle.
D C A B Side-Angle-Side Is the given information sufficient to prove congruent triangles?
Side-Angle-Side Given that C is the midpoint of AD and AD bisects BE, prove that DABC DCDA. B D C A E • C is the midpoint of AD means that CA CD. (S S) • BCA DCE because vertical angles are congruent. (A A) • AD bisects BE means that BE is cut in to congruent segments resulting in BC CE. (S S) The two triangles are congruent because of SAS SAS
