Section 4-2 Some Ways to Prove Triangles Congruent
SSS Postulate • (Side-Side-Side) If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
C D F A B E Example: By SSS Postulate, ABCDEF
2. SAS Postulate (Side-Angle-Side) 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.
B A D C Example: By SAS Postulate, ABD CDB
3.ASA Postulate (Angle-Side-Angle) If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
