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
