Proving Triangles Congruent. SSS. If we can show all 3 pairs of corr. sides are congruent, the triangles have to be congruent. SAS. Non-included angles. Included angle. Show 2 pairs of sides and the included angles are congruent and the triangles have to be congruent.

SSS If we can show all 3 pairs of corr. sides are congruent, the triangles have to be congruent.
SAS Non-included angles Included angle Show 2 pairs of sides and the included angles are congruent and the triangles have to be congruent.
This is called a common side. It is a side for both triangles. We’ll use the reflexive property.
Common side SSS Vertical angles SAS Parallel lines alt int angles Common side SAS
ASA, AAS and HL A ASA – 2 angles and the included side S A AAS – 2 angles and The non-included side A A S
HL ( hypotenuse leg ) is used only with right triangles, BUT, not all right triangles. ASA HL
SOME REASONS WE’LL BE USING • DEF OF MIDPOINT • DEF OF A BISECTOR • VERT ANGLES ARE CONGRUENT • DEF OF PERPENDICULAR BISECTOR • REFLEXIVE PROPERTY (COMMON SIDE) • PARALLEL LINES ….. ALT INT ANGLES
