Day33ASA SAS SSS

The document discusses five ways to prove that two triangles are congruent: SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, and Hypotenuse-Leg (HL). It provides examples and definitions of each postulate, including diagrams to illustrate what each postulate looks like and does not look like. It also lists practice problems for students to determine what information is missing in order to use a given postulate to prove triangles congruent.

SSS Postulate – If three sides of one
triangle are congruent to three sides
of another triangle, then the
triangles are congruent.

to two sides and the included angle of
another triangle, then the triangles are
congruent.

The angle pair that is marked congruent


MUST be in between the two congruent
sides to use SAS! There is NOT enough
information to determine whether these
triangles are congruent.
ASA 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.
