Proving Triangles Congruent MARK PAUL DE GUZMAN
SSS POSTULATE • SAS POSTULATE • ASA POSTULATE • AAS THEOREM
POSTULATE: Are accepted as true statement and are used to justify conclusions.
THEOREM Statements that must be proven true by citing undefined terms, definitions postulate and previously proven theorems.
SSS POSTULATE: If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent XY PR YZ XZ PQ RQ and Y P Q X R Z Thus, by SSS Postulate, XYZ PRQ
SIDE ANGLE SIDE POSTULATE • 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 two triangles are congruent. GIVEN: BX TP; <B < T; BO TA A P B T X O CONCLUSION: BOX TAP By; SAS POSTULATE
ASA POSTULATE: GIVEN: If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then two triangles are congruent. <P <I ;PA IT;<A <T R F T A P I CONCLUSION: RAP FIT By; ASA POSTULATE
AAS Theorem If two angles and the non-included side of one triangle are congruent, respectively, to the corresponding angles and non-included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
