Introductory Message
This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear learners,
can continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions,
directions, exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to
understand each lesson.

Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-by-
step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.

Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons in each

SLM. This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing this module or if
you need to ask your facilitator or your teacher’s assistance for better
understanding of the lesson. At the end of each module, you need to answer
the post-test to self-check your learning. Answer keys are provided for each
activity and test. We trust that you will be honest in using these.

In addition to the material in the main text, Notes to the Teacher are also
provided to our facilitators and parents for strategies and reminders on how
they can best help you on your home-based learning.

Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any part
of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises and
tests. And read the instructions carefully before performing each task.

If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty in answering the
tasks in this module, do not hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator.

 Let Us Study

To determine if the two triangles are congruent when they have:

• exactly the same measurement of the corresponding sides and;

• exactly the same measurement of the corresponding angles.

• Corresponding sides are marked the same and same goes with the
corresponding angles.
• The pairs of corresponding sides are namely:
o 𝐴𝐵 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐷𝐸 . Thus, 𝐴𝐵 ≅ 𝐷𝐸
o 𝐴𝐶 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐷𝐹 . Thus, 𝐴𝐶 ≅ 𝐷𝐹
o 𝐵𝐶 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐸𝐹 . Thus, 𝐵𝐶 ≅ 𝐸𝐹
• The pairs of corresponding angles are namely:
o ∠𝐴 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠𝐷 . Thus, ∠𝐴 ≅ ∠𝐷
o ∠𝐵 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠𝐸 . Thus, ∠𝐵 ≅ ∠𝐸
o ∠𝐶 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠𝐹 . Thus, ∠𝐶 ≅ ∠𝐹
• Congruent triangles are named by listing their vertices in corresponding
orders.
• Since all the statements are true (the corresponding sides and angles
are congruent). Thus, ∆𝑨𝑩𝑪 ≅ ∆𝑫𝑬𝑭.

Illustrative Example 1

1. Write all the pairs of congruent corresponding sides.

Answer:
▪ 𝑋𝑌 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑅𝑇. So, 𝑋𝑌 ≅ 𝑇𝑅 • 𝑿𝒀 has the same marking as 𝑹𝑻
▪ 𝑋𝑍 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑆𝑇. So, 𝑋𝑍 ≅ 𝑇𝑆 • 𝑿𝒁 has the same marking as 𝑺𝑻
▪ 𝑌𝑍 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑅𝑆. So, 𝑌𝑍 ≅ 𝑅𝑆 • 𝒀𝒁 has the same marking as 𝑹𝑺

2. Write all the pairs of congruent corresponding angles.

Answer:
• ∠𝑿 has the same marking as ∠𝑻
▪ ∠𝑋 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠𝑇. So, ∠𝑋 ≅ ∠𝑇
• ∠𝒀 has the same marking as ∠𝑹
▪ ∠𝑌 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠𝑅. So, ∠𝑌 ≅ ∠𝑅
• ∠𝒁 has the same marking as ∠𝑺
▪ ∠𝑍 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠𝑆. So, ∠𝑍 ≅ ∠𝑆

3. Write in symbols, “Triangle XYZ is congruent to Triangle TRS”.

Answer: ∆𝑋𝑌𝑍 ≅ ∆𝑇𝑅𝑆 Since all six pairs of corresponding

parts are congruent. Thus, ∆𝑿𝒀𝒁 ≅ ∆𝑻𝑹𝑺

NOTE: When naming two congruent triangles, there must be a proper

correspondence on the vertices. In simple terms, matching on the
vertices must be followed.

There are infinite examples of congruency that we can observe in real-

life. A simple example is a set of floor tiles in the hardware of the same shape
and size. However, it is not only on things you can see congruency but also
on people like if you have friends with the same vibes as you, same personality
and sentiments on the things around you. From this, do you have anyone on
your mind?

a. ASA

d. SSS

Let Us Study

Let us have these illustrations to further explain triangle congruence

postulates.

There are ways to find if two triangles are congruent: SAS, ASA, SSS, AAS

1. SAS (side, angle, side) Congruence Postulate

If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to the
corresponding sides and angle of another triangle, the triangles are
congruent.

SAS stands for "side, angle, side" and means that we have two triangles
where we know two sides and the included angle are equal.

For example:
Included angle Included angle
-angle between the
two known sides

Included angle
As marked,

• 𝐴𝐵 ≅ 𝑅𝑆 (sides)
• ∠𝐴 ≅ ∠𝑅 (included angles)
• 𝐴𝐶 ≅ 𝑅𝑄 (sides)
Therefore, by SAS Congruence Postulate, ∆𝑨𝑩𝑪 ≅ ∆𝑹𝑸𝑺.

9
 2. ASA (angle, side, angle) Congruence Postulate

If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to the
corresponding angles and side of another triangle, the triangles are
congruent.

ASA stands for "angle, side, angle" and means that we have two triangles
where we know two angles and the included side are equal.

For example: Included side

-side between the two
Included side known angles

Included side
As marked,
• ∠𝐴 ≅ ∠𝑋 (angles)
• 𝐴𝐵 ≅ 𝑋𝑌 (included sides)
• ∠𝐵 ≅ ∠𝑌 (angles)
Therefore, by ASA Congruence Postulate, ∆𝑨𝑩𝑪 ≅ ∆𝑿𝒀𝒁.

3. SSS (side, side, side) Congruence Postulate

If three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle,
the triangles are congruent.
SSS stands for "side, side, side" and means that we have two triangles with
all three sides equal.
For example:

10
 As marked,
• 𝐴𝐵 ≅ 𝐿𝑀 (side)
• 𝐴𝐶 ≅ 𝐿𝐾(side)
• 𝐵𝐶 ≅ 𝑀𝐾 (side)
Therefore, by SSS Congruence Postulate, ∆𝑨𝑩𝑪 ≅ ∆𝑳𝑴𝑲.

NOTE: There is also a triangle congruence wherein the givens are two angles
and non-included side, and that is
AAS Congruence Postulate.

4. AAS (angle, angle, side) Congruence Postulate

If two angles and the non-included side of one triangle are congruent to
two angles and the non-included side of another triangle, then these two
triangles are congruent.

For example:

Non-included side
Non-included side

Non-included side
-side outside the
two known angles
As marked,
• ∠𝐶 ≅ ∠𝐸 (angles)
• ∠𝐵 ≅ ∠𝐷 (angles)
• 𝐴𝐵 ≅ 𝐷𝐹 (non-included sides)
Therefore, by AAS Congruence Postulate, ∆𝑨𝑩𝑪 ≅ ∆𝑿𝒀𝒁.

Solving corresponding parts of congruent triangles

• Example 1
Find the values of x and 𝑚∠𝐺.

By LA (Leg-Acute)
Theorem, the two
triangles are congruent.
With that, the acute
angle given on ∆𝑀𝑁𝐿 is
equal to the acute angle
given on ∆𝐹𝐺𝐻.

Given:
𝑚∠𝑁 = 80o
LM = FH (as seen in the markings)
𝑚∠𝐺 = 2x
Find:
x=?
𝑚∠𝐺 = ?

Solution:
Since x = 40o and 𝑚∠𝐺 = 2x . So,
𝑚∠𝐺 = 2x
𝑚∠𝐺 = 2(40o) Substituting value of x
Dividing both
sides by two
𝑚∠𝐺 = 80O

20
• Example 2
Find the value of x and 𝑚∠𝑋.

By AAS Congruence
Postulate, the two
triangles are congruent.
With that, ∠𝐿 ≅ ∠𝑍 and
∠𝑀 ≅ ∠𝑌. Take note, the
sum of the interior angles
of a triangle is 180o.

Given:

Find:
x=?
𝑚∠𝑋 = ?

Solution:
Since x = 17.25 and 𝑚∠𝑋 = 4x. So,

Substitute the 𝑚∠𝑋 = 4x

values Substituting
𝑚∠𝑋 = 4(17.25) value of x
Combine like
terms 𝑚∠𝑋 = 69o
By Transposition
Method

Divide both
sides by four
