Triangles Congruent Theorem

The document discusses the concept of congruence in geometry, specifically focusing on triangles and the Triangles Congruent Theorem, which states that two triangles are congruent if their corresponding sides and angles are equal. It outlines the conditions for congruence, including Side-Side-Side (SSS), Side-Angle-Side (SAS), Angle-Side-Angle (ASA), and Angle-Angle-Side (AAS). Additionally, it describes various proof techniques such as direct proof, proof by contradiction, and proof by induction for establishing the congruence of triangles.

TRIANGLES

CONGRUENT
THEOREM
VALLEJO, LEPJORD T.
BSED-MATH II
• The concept of congruence in geometry refers to figures that have the
same size and shape. In the case of triangles, two triangles are said to
be congruent if their corresponding sides and angles are equal. The
Triangles Congruent Theorem is a fundamental principle that helps
determine when two triangles are congruent to each other.
• Statement of the Theorem: The Triangles Congruent Theorem states
that two triangles are congruent if any of the following conditions are
met:
• Side-Side-Side (SSS) • Side-Angle-Side (SAS)
Congruence: If the three sides Congruence: If two sides and
of one triangle are equal to the the included angle of one
three sides of another triangle, triangle are equal to two sides
then the triangles are congruent. and the included angle of
another triangle, then the
triangles are congruent.
• Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) • Angle-Angle-Side (AAS)
Congruence: If two angles and Congruence: If two angles and
the included side of one triangle a non-included side of one
are equal to two angles and the triangle are equal to two angles
included side of another triangle, and the corresponding non-
then the triangles are congruent. included side of another triangle,
then the triangles are congruent.

INVOLVING TRIANGLES AND
CONGRUENT TRIANGLES
• Understanding Congruent Triangles: Before delving into proofs, it's
essential to understand what it means for triangles to be congruent.
Two triangles are considered congruent if their corresponding sides and
angles are equal. Congruent triangles have the same size and shape,
although they may be oriented differently. There are several methods
to establish congruence between triangles, such as Side-Side-Side
(SSS), Side-Angle-Side (SAS), Angle-Side-Angle (ASA), and Angle-Angle-
Side (AAS) criteria.

PROOF TECHNIQUES

• Proof by Induction: While less common in triangle geometry, proof


by induction can be used in certain contexts, especially when dealing
with patterns or sequences of triangles. This method involves proving a
base case and then demonstrating that if the theorem holds for any
given triangle, it also holds for the next triangle in the sequence.
