7. When are triangles considered to be congruent?
8. TRUE OR FALSE: When triangles are congruent they will have the same
shape but not the same size.
9. List five ways that we can tell if triangles are congruent.
SAS (Side-Angle-Side) Postulate
SAS stands for "side, angle, side" and means that we have two triangles where we
know two sides and the included angle are equal.
EXAMPLE:
Corresponding sides:
Corresponding angle
10. Name the corresponding sides and corresponding angle for the figure below.
Use SAS postulate and example above to help you.

ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Postulate
ASA stands for "angle, side, angle" and means that we have two triangles
where we know two angles and the included side are equal.
11.Name the corresponding angles and corresponding side for the figure below.
Use ASA postulate and example above to help you.
SSS (Side-Side-Side) Postulate
SSS stands for "side, side, side" and means that we have two triangles with all
three sides equal.
Corresponding sides congruent are : ZX = CA , XY = AB, YZ = BC
12.
Name the corresponding sides for the figure below. Use SSS postulate and
example above to help you.

AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) Postulate
AAS stands for "angle, angle, side" and means that we have two triangles
where we know two angles and the non- included side are equal.
