Proving Δs are : SSS, SAS, HL, ASA, & AAS GEOMETRY Ms. olifer
Objectives • Use the SSS Postulate • Use the SAS Postulate • Use the HL Theorem • Use ASA Postulate • Use AAS Theorem • Prove problems using triangle congruence theorems/postulates
SSSSide-Side-Side Postulate • If 3 sides of one Δ are to 3 sides of another Δ, then the Δs are .
E A F C D B More on the SSS Postulate If seg AB seg ED, seg AC seg EF, & seg BC seg DF, then ΔABC ΔEDF.
Write a proof. GIVEN KL NL,KM NM PROVE KLMNLM Proof KL NL andKM NM It is given that LM LN. By the Reflexive Property, So, by the SSS Congruence Postulate, KLMNLM EXAMPLE 1 Use the SSS Congruence Postulate
DFGHJK SideDG HK, SideDF JH,andSideFG JK. So by the SSS Congruence postulate, DFG HJK. for Example 1 GUIDED PRACTICE Decide whether the congruence statement is true. Explain your reasoning. SOLUTION Three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of second triangle then the two triangle are congruent. Yes. The statement is true.
ACBCAD 2. GIVEN : BC AD ACBCAD PROVE : It is given that BC AD By Reflexive property AC AC, But AB is not congruent CD. PROOF: for Example 1 GUIDED PRACTICE Decide whether the congruence statement is true. Explain your reasoning. SOLUTION
for Example 1 GUIDED PRACTICE Therefore the given statement is false and ABC is not Congruent to CAD because corresponding sides are not congruent
3. QPTRST GIVEN : QT TR , PQ SR, PT TS PROVE : QPTRST It is given that QT TR, PQ SR, PT TS.So by SSS congruence postulate, QPT RST. Yes the statement is true. PROOF: for Example 1 GUIDED PRACTICE Decide whether the congruence statement is true. Explain your reasoning. SOLUTION
Postulate (SAS)Side-Angle-Side Postulate • If 2 sides and the included of one Δ are to 2 sides and the included of another Δ, then the 2 Δs are .
More on the SAS Postulate • If seg BC seg YX, seg AC seg ZX, & C X, then ΔABC ΔZXY. B Y ) ( A C X Z

ASAAngle-Side-Angle 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 triangles are congruent.
HLHypotenuse - Leg Theorem • If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right Δ are to the hypotenuse and a leg of a second Δ, then the 2 Δs are .
AASAngle-Angle-Side Congruence Theorem • If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of a second triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Example 5: Is it possible to prove these triangles are congruent? If so, state the postulate or theorem you would use. Explain your reasoning.
Example 5: In addition to the angles and segments that are marked, EGF JGH by the Vertical Angles Theorem. Two pairs of corresponding angles and one pair of corresponding sides are congruent. Thus, you can use the AAS Congruence Theorem to prove that ∆EFG ∆JHG.
Example 6: Is it possible to prove these triangles are congruent? If so, state the postulate or theorem you would use. Explain your reasoning.
Example 6: In addition to the congruent segments that are marked, NP NP. Two pairs of corresponding sides are congruent. This is not enough information to prove the triangles are congruent.
Example 7: Given: AD║EC, BD BC Prove: ∆ABD ∆EBC Plan for proof: Notice that ABD and EBC are congruent. You are given that BD BC. Use the fact that AD ║EC to identify a pair of congruent angles.
Proof: Statements: • BD BC • AD ║ EC • D C • ABD EBC • ∆ABD ∆EBC Reasons: • Given • Given • If || lines, then alt. int. s are • Vertical Angles Theorem • ASA Congruence Postulate
