Proving Triangles Congruent - SSS & SAS

1) The document discusses two methods for proving triangles are congruent: the Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence Postulate and the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Congruence Postulate. 2) The SSS Postulate states that if three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. 3) The SAS Postulate states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Warm-up

Use S for sides and A for angles to describe the order of the congruent parts in the triangles below. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Proving s are : SSS and SAS


Outcome #11 Logic & Geometric Proofs I can prove triangles congruent using SSS, SAS, ASA Congruence Postulates and AAS Congruence Theorem.

Objectives

I can prove two triangles are congruent using SSS Postulate and SAS Postulate
I can complete a two-column proof using SSS Postulate and SAS Postulate

Remember?
As of yesterday, s could only be if ALL sides AND angles were NOT ANY MORE!!!! There are two short cuts to add.

Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence Postulate


If

3 sides of one are to 3 sides of another , then the s are .

Meaning:
If seg AB seg ED, seg AC seg EF & seg BC seg DF, then ABC EDF.
