Understanding Triangle Proofs and Congruence: A Step-by-Step Guide

This guide explores the process of proving triangle congruence through statements and reasons. It covers key concepts such as midpoints, congruent segments, and angle relationships. Using examples from triangle MET and JET, as well as triangles ABD and EBC, this resource illustrates how to logically sequence steps to demonstrate congruence using properties like Reflexive, Alternate Interior Angles, and SAS/AAS Theorems. Ideal for students seeking clarity in geometric proofs and congruence criteria.
