Use SSS to Prove Triangles Congruent

Answer: Flow Proof:


SSS on the Coordinate Plane

Triangle DVW has vertices D (–5, –1), V (–1, –2), and


W (–7, –4). Triangle LPM has vertices L (1, –5), P (2, –1),
and M (4, –7).

A. Graph both triangles on the same coordinate


plane.

B. Use your graph to make a conjecture as to whether


the triangles are congruent. Explain your
reasoning using rigid motions.

C. Write a logical argument that uses coordinate


geometry to support the conjecture you made
in part B.
SSS on the Coordinate Plane

Read the Item


You are asked to do three things in this problem. In part A, you
are to graph ∆DVW and ∆LPM on the same coordinate plane. In
part B, you should make a conjecture that ∆DVW ≅ ∆LPM or
∆DVW ≅ ∆LPM based on your graph. Finally, in part C, you are
asked to prove your conjecture.
SSS on the Coordinate Plane

A.

B. From the graph, there appears to be a combination of


rigid motions that will map one triangle onto the other, so
we can conjecture that they are congruent.
SSS on the Coordinate Plane

C. Use the Distance Formula to show that all corresponding


sides have the same measure.

of congruent segments, all corresponding segments are
congruent. Therefore, ∆DVW ≅ ∆LPM by SSS.
