  1. Section 4.4 Use the SAS Congruence Postulate Posutlate 20 Side-Angle- Side (SAS) Congruence IF two sides and included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

  5. Because they are vertical angles, PMQRMS. All points on a circle are the same distance from the center, so MP, MQ, MR, and MSare all equal. ANSWER MRSand MPQ are congruent by the SAS Congruence Postulate. EXAMPLE 2 Use SAS and properties of shapes In the diagram, QSand RPpass through the center Mof the circle. What can you conclude about MRSand MPQ? SOLUTION

  8. EXAMPLE 2 Use SAS and properties of shapes In the diagram R is the center of the circle. If angle SRT is congruent to angle URT, what can you conclude about triangle SRT and Triangle URT?

  9. Section 4.4 Right Angles Right Triangles: In a right triangles the sides adjacent to the right angle are called the legs. The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuseof the right angle

  10. Section 4.4 Right Angles Theorem 4.5 Hypotenuse-Leg(HL) Congruence If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of a second right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

  11. WYZXZY PROVE Redraw the triangles so they are side by side with corresponding parts in the same position. Mark the given information in the diagram. EXAMPLE 3 Use the Hypotenuse-Leg Congruence Theorem Write a proof. GIVEN WY XZ,WZ ZY, XY ZY SOLUTION

  13. EXAMPLE 3 Use the Hypotenuse-Leg Congruence Theorem

  14. EXAMPLE 4 Choose a postulate or theorem Sign Making You are making a canvas sign to hang on the triangular wall over the door to the barn shown in the picture. You think you can use two identical triangular sheets of canvas. You knowthatRP QS and PQ PS. What postulate or theorem can you use to conclude that PQRPSR?

  15. You are given that PQ PS. By the Reflexive Property, RP RP. By the definition of perpendicular lines, both RPQ and RPSare right angles, so they are congruent. So, two sides and their included angle are congruent. ANSWER You can use the SAS Congruence Postulate to conclude that . PQRPSR EXAMPLE 4 Choose a postulate or theorem SOLUTION
