4-5 Triangle Congruence: SSS and SAS Warm Up 1. Name the angle formed by AB and AC. 2. Name the three sides of ABC. 3. ∆QRS ∆LMN. Name all pairs of congruent corresponding parts. Holt McDougal Geometry 4-5 Triangle Congruence: SSS and SAS Objectives Apply SSS and SAS to construct triangles and solve problems. Prove triangles congruent by using SSS and SAS. Holt McDougal Geometry 4-5 Triangle Congruence: SSS and SAS Before fall break, we learned that triangles are congruent when all three sides and all three angles are congruent to the corresponding angles and sides. The property of triangle rigidity gives you a shortcut for proving two triangles congruent. It states that if the side lengths of a triangle are given, the triangle can have only one shape. Holt McDougal Geometry 4-5 Triangle Congruence: SSS and SAS For example, you only need to know that two triangles have three pairs of congruent corresponding sides. This can be expressed as the following postulate. If 3 sides 3 sides, then Δs . Holt McDougal Geometry 4-5 Triangle Congruence: SSS and SAS Remember! Adjacent triangles share a side, so you can apply the Reflexive Property to get a pair of congruent parts. Holt McDougal Geometry 4-5 Triangle Congruence: SSS and SAS Example 1: Using SSS to Prove Triangle Congruence Use SSS to explain why ∆ABC ∆DBC. Holt McDougal Geometry 4-5 Triangle Congruence: SSS and SAS Check It Out! Example 1 Use SSS to explain why ∆ABC ∆CDA. Holt McDougal Geometry 4-5 Triangle Congruence: SSS and SAS An included angle is an angle formed by two adjacent sides of a polygon. B is the included angle between sides AB and BC. Holt McDougal Geometry 4-5 Triangle Congruence: SSS and SAS It can also be shown that only two pairs of congruent corresponding sides are needed to prove the congruence of two triangles if the included angles are also congruent. If 2 sides and included two sides and included , then Δs . Holt McDougal Geometry 4-5 Triangle Congruence: SSS and SAS Example 2: Engineering Application The diagram shows part of the support structure for a tower. Use SAS to explain why ∆XYZ ∆VWZ. Holt McDougal Geometry 4-5 Triangle Congruence: SSS and SAS Check It Out! Example 2 Use SAS to explain why ∆ABC ∆DBC. Holt McDougal Geometry 4-5 Triangle Congruence: SSS and SAS Example 3A: Verifying Triangle Congruence Show that the triangles are congruent for the given value of the variable. ∆MNO ∆PQR, solve for x. Holt McDougal Geometry 4-5 Triangle Congruence: SSS and SAS Example 3B: Verifying Triangle Congruence Show that the triangles are congruent for the given value of the variable. ∆STU ∆VWX, solve for y. Holt McDougal Geometry 4-5 Triangle Congruence: SSS and SAS Check It Out! Example 3 The ∆ADB ∆CDB, what is the value of t. Holt McDougal Geometry 4-5 Triangle Congruence: SSS and SAS Lesson Quiz: Part I 1. When ∆ABC ∆DBC, solve for x. 26° Which postulate, if any, can be used to prove the triangles congruent? 2.
