  1. Chapter 4 Triangles

  2. 4-3 Exploring Congruent Triangles • Triangles that are the same size and same shape are congruent triangles. • Each triangle has six parts, three angles and three sides. • If the corresponding six parts of one triangle are congruent to the six parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. • If you slide, rotate, or flip a figure, congruence will not change. These three transformations are called congruence transformations.

  3. Definition of Congruent Triangles (CPCTC) • Two triangles are congruent if and only if their corresponding parts are congruent. • Congruence of triangles is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.

  6. SSS AND SASCONGRUENCE POSTULATES The SSS Congruence Postulate is a shortcut for provingtwo triangles are congruent without using all six pairsof corresponding parts.

  7. Using the SSS Congruence Postulate Prove that PQWTSW. The marks on the diagram show that PQTS, PWTW, andQWSW. SOLUTION Paragraph Proof So by the SSS Congruence Postulate, you know that PQW TSW.
