Geometry Notes Section 4-5
What you’ll learn. . . . • How to use the ASA Postulate to test for triangle congruence • How to use the AAS Theorem to test for triangle congruence
Vocabulary • Included side
The two shortcuts we know. . . • SSS • SAS • There are a few more. . .
ASA Postulate-If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Example #1: Find the missing congruent parts so that the triangles can be proved congruent by the ASA Postulate. Then write the triangle congruence. a. b. c. d.
Example #2: Write a two-column proof. • Given: PS is the angle bisector of QPR • Prove: ΔPQS ΔPRS
Might there be more???? • Today is your lucky day. . . • Do you think that if two angles and a nonincluded side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and nonincluded side of a second triangle, the two triangles would be congruent?? • Yes . . .this is called AAS
Example #3: Find the missing congruent parts so that the triangles can be proved congruent. Justify your decision. Then write the triangle congruence.
Example 4: • Write a two-column proof. .
