Triangle Congruence by ASA and AAS4-3 Objective: To prove two triangles congruent using the ASA Postulate and the AAS Theorem.
What works and what doesn’t? Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Side-Side-Side (SSS) YES YES Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Side-Angle-Angle (SAA) Side-Side-Angle (SSA) Angle-Angle-Angle (AAA) NO
Angle-Angle-Angle (AAA) Is this statement true? ∆MNO ∆PQR
Which two triangles are congruent by ASA? Explain. We already have pairs of angles. We have congruent sides but are they included? Do congruent sides have congruence markings (ticks)? Yes! To use ASA, we need two pairs of congruent angles and a pair of included congruent sides.
