Congruent Triangles Proof Worksheet

This document contains 6 geometry proof problems involving congruent triangles. Each problem provides some given information about the triangles such as congruent sides or angles and asks to prove that the triangles are congruent. For each problem, students are asked to draw and label the diagrams, identify any other congruent parts, state the triangle congruence theorem that proves the triangles congruent, and fill in a two-column proof with statements and reasons.

arcs  to  show  congruent  angles)  
b. Show  any  other  congruent  parts  you  notice  (from  vertical  angles,  sides  shared  in  common,  or  
alternate  interior  angles  with  parallel  lines)  
c. Give  the  postulate  or  theorem  that  proves  the  triangles  congruent  (SSS,  SAS,  ASA,  AAS,  HL)  
d. Finally,  fill  in  the  blanks  to  complete  the  proof.
