Triangle Congruence Day 4 Proving Congruence
Name_________________________
Date ______________
WARM UP
1. What do the reflexive, symmetric, and transitive properties say?
2. What’s the definition of (not the formula) of a midpoint?
3. If two segments or angles are congruent, what do you know about their actual numerical
values?
4. What does an angle bisector do?
5. What does a segment bisector do?
6. What do you know about complementary angles?
7. What do you know about supplementary angles?
8. What do you know about a linear pair?
9. Draw and label a set of vertical angles.
10. What are the five ways to prove triangles congruent?
STOP (and wait to review)
Today, we will review how to use a two column proof to prove triangles
and parts of triangles are congruent
At the end of class, you will be able to complete/fill in proofs using congruence
theorems.
