Two geometric figures with exactly the same size and shape. The Idea of a Congruence A C B D E F

How much do you need to know. . . . . . about two triangles to prove that they are congruent?

In Lesson 4.2, you learned that if all six pairs of corresponding parts (sides and angles) are congruent, then the triangles are congruent. Corresponding Parts  ABC   DEF B A C E D F ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Side-Side-Side (SSS) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object], ABC   DEF B A C E D F

Side-Angle-Side (SAS) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object], ABC   DEF B A C E D F included angle

The angle between two sides Included Angle  G  I  H

Name the included angle: Y E and E S E S and Y S Y S and Y E Included Angle  E  S  Y S Y E

Angle-Side- Angle (ASA) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object], ABC   DEF B A C E D F included side

The side between two angles Included Side GI HI GH

Warning: No SSA Postulate A C B D E F NOT CONGRUENT There is no such thing as an SSA postulate!

Warning: No AAA Postulate A C B D E F There is no such thing as an AAA postulate! NOT CONGRUENT
