Triangles
Chapter 4-3
Standard 5.0 Students prove that triangles are
congruent or similar, and they are able to use the
concept of corresponding parts of congruent
triangles.
Congruent Triangles
• Two triangles are congruent if all of
their corresponding sides and
corresponding angles are congruent.

A
• If two angles of one triangle are congruent
to two angles of another triangle, then the
third angles are also congruent.

 Congruence Properties
• Reflexive Property of  
Every triangle is congruent to itself
• Symmetric Property of  
If ABC  DEF, then DEF  ABC.
• Transitive Property of  
If ABC  DEF, and DEF  JKL,
then
ABC  JKL.
Transformations in the Coordinate Plane
A. COORDINATE GEOMETRY The vertices of
are R(─3, 0), S(0, 5), and T(1, 1). The vertices of
ST are R(3, 0), S(0, ─5), and T(─1, ─1).
Use the Distance Formula to find
the length of each side of the
triangles.
