Congruent Triangles |
There are five ways to prove that triangles are congruent,without having to have all 6 corresponding parts. Postulates:SSS,SAS,ASA Theorems:AAS,HL |
|
|
ssa (SIDE-SIDE-SIDE)Postulate |
3 sides if 1 triangles are congruent to the 3 sides of another triangle,then the triangles are congruent |
|
|
SAS (SIDE-ANGLE-SIDE) Postulate |
If two sides and included angle of 1 triangle are congruent to 2 sides and the included angles of another triangle,then the triangles are congruent |
|
|
ASA (ANGLE-SIDE-ANGLE)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 triangles are congruent. |
|
|
AAS (ANGLE-ANGLE-SIDE) theorem |
If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles the corresponding non-included side of another triangle then the triangles are congruent. |
|
|
Right triangle can be congruent |
They can be congruent by SSS,SAS,ASA,AAS AND 1 MORE (HL) that only works with right triangles. |
|
|
HL (hypotenuse-leg) Theorem |
If the hypotenuse and a leg of a triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and the corresponding leg of another right triangle ,the triangles are congruent. |
