Review of Δs • Triangles that are the same shape and size are congruent. • Each triangle has three sides and three angles. • If all six of the corresponding parts are congruent then the triangles are congruent.
Congruence Transformations • Congruency amongst triangles does not change when you… • slide, • turn, • or flip • … the triangles.
So, to prove Δs must we prove ALL sides & ALL s are ? Fortunately, NO! • There are some shortcuts…
Objectives • Use the SSS Postulate • Use the SAS Postulate
Postulate 4.1 (SSS)Side-Side-Side Postulate • If 3 sides of one Δ are to 3 sides of another Δ, then the Δs are .
