4-2 Triangle Congruence by SSS
and SAS
Side-Side-Side Postulate
If the three sides of one triangle are congruent
to the three sides of another triangle, then the
two triangles are congruent.
Using SSS
Included Angles
• You can also show
relationships between a
pair of corresponding
sides and an included angle.
Side-Angle-Side Postulate: If two sides and the
included angle of one triangle are congruent
to two sides and the
included angle of
another triangle, then
the two triangles are
congruent.
