Section 4 – 3 Triangle Congruence byASA and AAS Objective: To prove two triangles congruent using the ASA Postulate and the AAS Theorem
Postulate 4 – 3Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Postulate If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
Example 1 Using ASA A) Name two triangles that are congruent by the ASA Postulate.
Theorem 4 – 2Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) Theorem If two angles and a nonincluded side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the corresponding nonincluded side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Example 2 Using AAS A) Write a two-column proof to prove .
C) Given: Prove:
Example 3 Using ASA and AAS What else must you know to prove the triangle congruent for the reason shown? A) B) C)
