Congruent Figures • When two figures are congruent, there is a correspondence between their angles and sides such that corresponding sides and angles are congruent. Congruency Statements
What if we don’t have the picture? • Write the congruency statements for the following congruent triangles:
Does this only apply to triangles? In the diagram, ABCD KJHL. Find x and y.
Using Geometry to Prove Congruence Decide whether the triangles are congruent. Justify your reasoning.
How much do you need to know about two triangles to prove they are congruent? Do we have to have all six pairs of corresponding parts congruent?
Side-Side-Side Congruence Postulate (SSS) If the sides of one Δ are congruent to the sides of another Δ, then the Δs are congruent.
Side-Angle-Side Congruence Postulate (SAS) If two sides and the included angle of one Δ are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another Δ, then the Δs are congruent.
Angle-Side-Angle Congruence Postulate (ASA) If two angles and the included side of one Δ are congruent to two angles and the included side of another Δ, then the Δs are congruent.
Angle-Angle-Side Congruence Postulate (AAS) If two angles and the excluded side of one Δ are congruent to two angles and the excluded side of another Δ, then the Δs are congruent.
Hypotenuse-Leg Congruence Theorem (HL) If the hypotenuse and one leg of a right Δ are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of another Δ, then the Δs are congruent.
