This document outlines the process of proving triangle congruence using the Third Angles Theorem and the properties of congruent angles. It includes examples and proofs, demonstrating how to apply the Triangle Sum Theorem to derive angle measures and establish congruence between triangles. It emphasizes the importance of the Reflexive Property in congruence proofs and provides guided practice to reinforce understanding. Ideal for students learning geometry and triangle congruence.
