Proving Overlapping Triangles Math 2 - Lesson 23 Mr. Lopez
Overlapping Triangles • Overlapping Triangles: • Some triangle relations are difficult to see because the triangles overlap. • To make things easier separate and redraw the triangles. C A D B E F C A D B E F E F
C A B D E F Proofs with Overlapping Triangles Given: 1 = 2, AB BF, CD DE, BE = FD Prove: ΔAFB = ΔCED Since the two triangles you want to prove overlap, redraw and separate them. G 1 2
Proofs with Overlapping Triangles • Now that they are separated, mark the diagrams by what’s given to help you visualize what you have and what you need C A 1 2 D B E F E F C A 2 1 D E F E F B
Proofs with Overlapping Triangles C • Now that they are separated you can see what you have and what you need a little clearer. • What You Have: Rt ’s, 1 = 2 and part of a line segment • What You Need: The completion of the line segment to prove the triangles are congruent using ASA. A 1 2 D E F E F B
Proofs with Overlapping Triangles 1. Given ------- 2.Defintion of lines ------- 3. Def of right angles 4. Substitution 5. Reflexive 6. Partition Post 7. Addition 8. Substitution 9. ASA 1. 1 = 2, AB BF, CD DE, BE = DF 2. B and D are right ’s. 3. B = 90, D = 90 4. B = D 5. EF = EF 6. BF = BE + EF ED = DF + EF 7. BE + EF = DF + EF 8. BF = ED 9. ΔAFB = ΔCED
You Try! Given: AD = AE B = C Part a: Prove: ΔADC = ΔAEB Part B: Continue the proof and prove DC = EB A E D B C
