NAME _____________________________________________ DATE _____________________________ PERIOD ____________ 4-4 Study Guide and Intervention Proving Triangles CongruentโSSS, SAS SSS Postulate You know that two triangles are congruent if corresponding sides are congruent and corresponding angles are congruent. The Side-Side-Side (SSS) Postulate lets you show that two triangles are congruent if you know only that the sides of one triangle are congruent to the sides of the second triangle. SSS Postulate If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of a second triangle, then the triangles are congruent. Example: Write a two-column proof. Given: ๐ด๐ต โ ๐ท๐ต C is the midpoint of ๐ด๐ท Prove: โณABC โ โณDBC Statements Reasons 1. ๐ด๐ต โ ๐ท๐ต 2. C is the midpoint of ๐ด๐ท 3. ๐ด๐ถ โ ๐ท๐ถ 4. ๐ต๐ถ โ ๐ต๐ถ 5. โณABC โ โณDBC 1. Given 2. Given 3.

SAS 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 triangles are congruent. Example: For each diagram, determine which pairs of triangles can be proved congruent by the SAS Postulate. a. b. c. In โณABC, the angle is not โincludedโ by the sides AB and AC. So the triangles cannot be proved congruent by the SAS Postulate. The right angles are congruent and they are the included angles for the congruent sides. โณDEF โ โณJGH by the SAS Postulate. The included angles, 1 and 2, are congruent because they are alternate interior angles for two parallel lines. โณPSR โ โณRQP by the SAS Postulate. Exercises Write the specified type of proof. 1.
