4.4 Proving Triangles are Congruent: ASA and AAS Geometry Mrs. Spitz Fall 2004 Objectives: 1. Prove that triangles are congruent using the ASA Congruence Postulate and the AAS Congruence Theorem 2. Use congruence postulates and theorems in real-life problems. Assignment • 4.4 pp. 223-225 #1-22 all • Quiz after this section Postulate 21: Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Congruence Postulate • If two angles and the B included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the C included side of a second triangle, then the triangles are congruent. A E F D Theorem 4.5: Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) Congruence Theorem • If two angles and a B non-included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the corresponding non- C included side of a second triangle, then the triangles are congruent. A E F D Theorem 4.5: Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) Congruence Theorem Given: A D, C F, BC EF Prove: ∆ABC ∆DEF B A E C F D Theorem 4.5: Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) Congruence Theorem You are given that two angles of ∆ABC are congruent to two angles of ∆DEF. By the Third Angles Theorem, the third angles are also congruent. That is, B E. Notice that BC is the side included between B and C, and EF C is the side included between E and F. You can apply the ASA Congruence Postulate to conclude that ∆ABC ∆DEF. B A E F D Ex. 1 Developing Proof Is it possible to prove the triangles are congruent? If so, state the postulate or theorem you would use. Explain your reasoning. H E G F J Ex. 1 Developing Proof A. In addition to the angles and segments that are marked, EGF JGH by the Vertical Angles Theorem. Two pairs of corresponding angles and one pair of corresponding sides are congruent. You can use the AAS Congruence Theorem to prove that ∆EFG ∆JHG. H E G F J Ex. 1 Developing Proof Is it possible to prove the triangles are congruent? If so, state the postulate or theorem you would use. Explain your reasoning. N M Q P Ex. 1 Developing Proof B. In addition to the congruent segments that are marked, NP NP. Two pairs of corresponding sides are congruent. This is not enough information to prove the triangles are congruent.

In Example 2, you can use the parallel segments to show that D C and A E. Then you can use the AAS Congruence Theorem to prove that the triangles are congruent.
