  2. 4-4 Triangle Congruence: SSS and SAS Holt Geometry

  3. In Lesson 4-1, you proved triangles congruent by showing that all six pairs of corresponding parts were congruent. Now we will learn of several shortcuts to prove triangles congruent. We can prove them congruent using SIDE-SIDE-SIDE or SIDE-ANGLE-SIDE.

  4. 4-1

  5. Remember! Adjacent triangles share a side, so you can apply the Reflexive Property to get a pair of congruent parts.

  6. It is given that AC DC and that AB  DB. By the Reflexive Property of Congruence, BC  BC. Therefore ∆ABC  ∆DBC by SSS. Example 1: Using SSS to Prove Triangle Congruence Use SSS to explain why ∆ABC  ∆DBC.

  7. It is given that AB CD and BC  DA. By the Reflexive Property of Congruence, AC  CA. So ∆ABC  ∆CDA by SSS. Check It Out! Example 1 Use SSS to explain why ∆ABC  ∆CDA.

  8. An included angle is an angle formed by two adjacent sides of a polygon. B is the included angle between sides AB and BC.

  9. 4-2

  10. Caution The letters SAS are written in that order because the congruent angles must be between pairs of congruent corresponding sides.

  11. It is given that BA BD and ABC  DBC. By the Reflexive Property of , BC  BC. So ∆ABC  ∆DBC by SAS. Check It Out! Example 2 Use SAS to explain why ∆ABC  ∆DBC.

  12. PQ  MN, QR  NO, PR  MO Example 3A: Verifying Triangle Congruence Determine if we know these triangles are congruent by SSS or SAS. ∆MNO  ∆PQR. ∆MNO  ∆PQR by SSS.

  13. ST  VW, TU  WX, and T  W. Example 3B: Verifying Triangle Congruence Determine if we know these triangles are congruent by SSS or SAS. ∆STU  ∆VWX. ∆STU  ∆VWX by SAS.

  14. Check It Out! Example 3 Determine if we know these triangles are congruent by SSS or SAS. ∆ADB  ∆CDB by SAS.

  15. Example 4: Proving Triangles Congruent Determine if we know these triangles are congruent by SSS or SAS. ∆ABD  ∆CDB ∆ABD  ∆CDB by SAS.

  16. Lesson Quiz: Part I Can SSS or SAS or none be used to prove the triangles congruent? 1. none 2. SSS

  17. It is given that XZ VZ and that YZ  WZ. By the Vertical s Theorem. XZY  VZW. Therefore ∆XYZ  ∆VWZ by SAS. Example 2: Engineering Application The diagram shows part of the support structure for a tower. Use SAS to explain why ∆XYZ  ∆VWZ.
