Lesson 24: Congruence Criteria for Trianglesโ€”ASA and SSS
Student Outcomes
๏‚ง
Students learn why any two triangles that satisfy the ASA or SSS congruence criteria must be congruent.
Lesson Notes
This is the third lesson in the congruency topic. So far, students have studied the SAS triangle congruence criteria and
how to prove base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent. Students examine two more triangle congruence
criteria in this lesson: ASA and SSS. Each proof assumes the initial steps from the proof of SAS; ask students to refer to
their notes on SAS to recall these steps before proceeding with the rest of the proof. Exercises require using all three
triangle congruence criteria.
Classwork
Opening Exercise (7 minutes)
Opening Exercise
Use the provided ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽ° angle as one base angle of an isosceles triangle. Use a compass and straight edge to construct an
appropriate isosceles triangle around it.
Compare your constructed isosceles triangle with a neighborโ€™s. Does using a given angle measure guarantee that all the
triangles constructed in class have corresponding sides of equal lengths?
No, side lengths may vary.
Discussion (24 minutes)
There are a variety of proofs of the ASA and SSS criteria. These follow from the SAS criteria already proved in Lesson 22.
Discussion
Today we are going to examine two more triangle congruence criteria, Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) and Side-Side-Side (SSS),
to add to the SAS criteria we have already learned. We begin with the ASA criteria.
ANGLE-SIDE-ANGLE TRIANGLE CONGRUENCE CRITERIA (ASA): Given two triangles โ–ณ ๐‘จ๐‘ฉ๐‘ช and โ–ณ ๐‘จโ€ฒ๐‘ฉโ€ฒ๐‘ชโ€ฒ. If ๐’Žโˆ ๐‘ช๐‘จ๐‘ฉ = ๐’Žโˆ ๐‘ชโ€ฒ ๐‘จโ€ฒ ๐‘ฉโ€ฒ
(Angle), ๐‘จ๐‘ฉ = ๐‘จโ€ฒ๐‘ฉโ€ฒ (Side), and ๐’Žโˆ ๐‘ช๐‘ฉ๐‘จ = ๐’Žโˆ ๐‘ชโ€ฒ ๐‘ฉโ€ฒ ๐‘จโ€ฒ (Angle), then the triangles are congruent.

GEOMETRY
PROOF:
We do not begin at the very beginning of this proof. Revisit your notes on the SAS proof, and recall that there are three
cases to consider when comparing two triangles. In the most general case, when comparing two distinct triangles, we
translate one vertex to another (choose congruent corresponding angles). A rotation brings congruent, corresponding
sides together. Since the ASA criteria allows for these steps, we begin here.
In order to map โ–ณ ๐‘จ๐‘ฉ๐‘ชโ€ฒโ€ฒโ€ฒ to โ–ณ ๐‘จ๐‘ฉ๐‘ช, we apply a reflection ๐’“ across the line ๐‘จ๐‘ฉ. A reflection maps ๐‘จ to ๐‘จ and ๐‘ฉ to ๐‘ฉ,
since they are on line ๐‘จ๐‘ฉ. However, we say that ๐’“(๐‘ชโ€ฒโ€ฒโ€ฒ) = ๐‘ชโˆ—. Though we know that ๐’“(๐‘ชโ€ฒโ€ฒโ€ฒ) is now in the same half-plane
of line ๐‘จ๐‘ฉ as ๐‘ช, we cannot assume that ๐‘ชโ€ฒโ€ฒโ€ฒ maps to ๐‘ช. So we have ๐’“(โ–ณ ๐‘จ๐‘ฉ๐‘ชโ€ฒโ€ฒโ€ฒ ) = โ–ณ ๐‘จ๐‘ฉ๐‘ชโˆ—. To prove the
theorem, we need to verify that ๐‘ชโˆ— is ๐‘ช.
By hypothesis, we know that โˆ ๐‘ช๐‘จ๐‘ฉ โ‰… โˆ ๐‘ชโ€ฒโ€ฒโ€ฒ๐‘จ๐‘ฉ (recall that โˆ ๐‘ชโ€ฒโ€ฒโ€ฒ๐‘จ๐‘ฉ is the result of two rigid motions of โˆ ๐‘ชโ€ฒ ๐‘จโ€ฒ ๐‘ฉโ€ฒ , so must
have the same angle measure as โˆ ๐‘ชโ€ฒ ๐‘จโ€ฒ ๐‘ฉโ€ฒ ). Similarly, โˆ ๐‘ช๐‘ฉ๐‘จ โ‰… โˆ ๐‘ชโ€ฒโ€ฒโ€ฒ๐‘ฉ๐‘จ. Since โˆ ๐‘ช๐‘จ๐‘ฉ โ‰… ๐’“(โˆ ๐‘ชโ€ฒโ€ฒโ€ฒ ๐‘จ๐‘ฉ) โ‰… โˆ ๐‘ชโˆ— ๐‘จ๐‘ฉ, and ๐‘ช
โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ— and โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—
and ๐‘ชโˆ— are in the same half-plane of line ๐‘จ๐‘ฉ, we conclude that ๐‘จ๐‘ช
๐‘จ๐‘ชโˆ— must actually be the same ray. Because the
โˆ—
โˆ—
โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ— , the point ๐‘ช must be a point somewhere on ๐‘จ๐‘ช
โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ— . Using the second equality of
points ๐‘จ and ๐‘ช define the same ray as ๐‘จ๐‘ช
angles, โˆ ๐‘ช๐‘ฉ๐‘จ โ‰… ๐’“(โˆ ๐‘ชโ€ฒโ€ฒโ€ฒ ๐‘ฉ๐‘จ) โ‰… โˆ ๐‘ชโˆ— ๐‘ฉ๐‘จ, we can also conclude that โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—
๐‘ฉ๐‘ช and โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—
๐‘ฉ๐‘ชโˆ— must be the same ray. Therefore, the
point ๐‘ชโˆ— must also be on โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—
๐‘ฉ๐‘ช. Since ๐‘ชโˆ— is on both โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—
๐‘จ๐‘ช and โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—
๐‘ฉ๐‘ช, and the two rays only have one point in common, namely ๐‘ช,
we conclude that ๐‘ช = ๐‘ชโˆ—.
We have now used a series of rigid motions to map two triangles onto one another that meet the ASA criteria.
SIDE-SIDE-SIDE TRIANGLE CONGRUENCE CRITERIA (SSS): Given two triangles โ–ณ ๐‘จ๐‘ฉ๐‘ช and โ–ณ ๐‘จโ€ฒ๐‘ฉโ€ฒ๐‘ชโ€ฒ, if ๐‘จ๐‘ฉ = ๐‘จโ€ฒ๐‘ฉโ€ฒ (Side), ๐‘จ๐‘ช = ๐‘จโ€ฒ๐‘ชโ€ฒ
(Side), and ๐‘ฉ๐‘ช = ๐‘ฉโ€ฒ๐‘ชโ€ฒ (Side), then the triangles are congruent.
PROOF:
Again, we do not start at the beginning of this proof, but assume there is a congruence that brings a pair of corresponding
sides together, namely the longest side of each triangle.
Without any information about the angles of the triangles, we cannot perform a reflection as we have in the proofs for
SAS and ASA. What can we do? First we add a construction: Draw an auxiliary line from ๐‘ฉ to ๐‘ฉโ€ฒ, and label the angles
created by the auxiliary line as ๐’“, ๐’”, ๐’•, and ๐’–.

Since ๐‘จ๐‘ฉ = ๐‘จ๐‘ฉโ€ฒ and ๐‘ช๐‘ฉ = ๐‘ช๐‘ฉโ€ฒ, โ–ณ ๐‘จ๐‘ฉ๐‘ฉโ€ฒ and โ–ณ ๐‘ช๐‘ฉ๐‘ฉโ€ฒ are both isosceles triangles respectively by definition. Therefore,
๐’“ = ๐’” because they are base angles of an isosceles triangle ๐‘จ๐‘ฉ๐‘ฉโ€ฒ. Similarly, ๐’Žโˆ ๐’• = ๐’Žโˆ ๐’– because they are base angles of
โ–ณ ๐‘ช๐‘ฉ๐‘ฉโ€ฒ. Hence, โˆ ๐‘จ๐‘ฉ๐‘ช = ๐’Žโˆ ๐’“ + ๐’Žโˆ ๐’• = ๐’Žโˆ ๐’” + ๐’Žโˆ ๐’– = โˆ ๐‘จ๐‘ฉโ€ฒ ๐‘ช. Since ๐’Žโˆ ๐‘จ๐‘ฉ๐‘ช = ๐’Žโˆ ๐‘จ๐‘ฉโ€ฒ๐‘ช, we say that
โ–ณ ๐‘จ๐‘ฉ๐‘ช โ‰… โ–ณ ๐‘จ๐‘ฉโ€ฒ๐‘ช by SAS.
We have now used a series of rigid motions and a construction to map two triangles that meet the SSS criteria onto one
another. Note that when using the Side-Side-Side triangle congruence criteria as a reason in a proof, you need only state
the congruence and SSS. Similarly, when using the Angle-Side-Angle congruence as a reason in a proof, you need only
state the congruence and ASA.
Now we have three triangle congruence criteria at our disposal: SAS, ASA, and SSS. We use these criteria to determine
whether or not pairs of triangles are congruent.
Exercises (6 minutes)
These exercises involve applying the newly developed congruence criteria to a variety of diagrams.

would also have allowed us to prove that โ–ณ ๐‘จ๐‘ฉ๐‘ฌ โ‰… โ–ณ ๐‘จ๐‘ช๐‘ฌ.โ€ Do you agree? Why or why not?
Yes; any time angles are equal in measure, we can also say that they are congruent. This is because rigid motions
preserve angle measure; therefore, any time angles are equal in measure, there exists a sequence of rigid motions
that carries one onto the other.
