F B A C E D The Idea of a Congruence Two geometric figures with exactly the same size and shape.
How much do you need to know. . . . . . about two triangles to prove that they are congruent?
Corresponding Parts • AB DE • BC EF • AC DF • A D • B E • C F B A C E F D In Lesson 4.2, you learned that if all six pairs of corresponding parts (sides and angles) are congruent, then the triangles are congruent. ABC DEF
SSS SAS ASA AAS Do you need all six ? NO !
HL HA LL LA Do you need to use these for right triangles ? NO !
Right triangle vocabulary Leg hypotenuse leg Since you know the right angles always match you only need two more parts to be congruent.
Name That Postulate (when possible)
Let’s Practice ACFE Indicate the additional information needed to enable us to apply the specified congruence postulate. For ASA: B D For SAS: AF For AAS:
HW Indicate the additional information needed to enable us to apply the specified congruence postulate. A For LA: B C D For LL: E F
