Chapter 4 Congruent Triangles
4.1 Triangles and Angles
Parts of Triangles • Vertex • Points joining the sides of a triangle • Adjacent Sides • Sides that share a common vertex
Classification by Sides • Equilateral • 3 congruent sides • Isosceles • At least 2 congruent sides • Scalene • No congruent sides
Classification by Angles • Acute • 3 acute angles • Equiangular • 3 congruent angles • Right • 1 right angle • Obtuse • 1 obtuse angle
Parts of Isosceles Triangles • Legs • The sides that are congruent. • Base • The non-congruent side.
Vertex angle legs Base angles Isosceles triangles • Base angles are congruent. Base
Parts of Right Triangles • Hypotenuse • The side that is opposite the right angle. It is always the longest side. • Legs • The sides that form the right angle
Right Triangles hypotenuse leg leg
Interior Angles • The angles on the inside of a triangle.
Triangle Sum Conjecture • The sum of the measures of the angles in every triangle is 180.
Example Find the measure of each angle. 2x + 10 x x + 2
Exterior Angles • The angles that are adjacent to the interior angles • The exterior angles always add to equal 360°
Definitions Exterior Angle Adjacent Interior Angle Remote Interior Angles
B b x a c A C Exterior Angles of a Triangle • Use your straightedge to draw a triangle. • Extend one side out as shown
B b x a a c A b C Exterior Angles of a Triangle • Trace angles a and b onto a transparency so that they are adjacent. • How does this compare to angle x?
B b x = a + b a c A C Triangle Exterior Angle Conjecture • The measure of the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the remote interior angles

4.2 Congruence and Triangles
Terms • Congruent • Figures that are exactly the same size and shape are congruent • Corresponding angles • The angles that are in corresponding positions are congruent • Corresponding sides • The sides that are in corresponding positions are congruent
Naming Congruent Figures • When a congruence statement is made it is important to match up corresponding parts.
Third Angle Theorem • If two angles in one triangle are equal to two angles in another triangle, then the third angles in each triangle are also equal.

Example 2 • Given ABC PQR, find the values of x and y. (6y – 4)° Q R A 85° (10x + 5)° P 50° C B

Definitions • included angle • An angle that is between two given sides. • included side • A side that is between two given angles.
L J K P Example 1 • Use the diagram. Name the included angle between the pair of given sides.
Triangle Congruence Shortcut • SSS • If the three sides of one triangle are congruent to the three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Triangle Congruence Shortcuts • SAS • If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

4.4 Proving Triangles Congruent ASA and AAS
Triangle Congruence Shortcuts • ASA • If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Triangle Congruence Shortcuts • SAA • If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding angles and side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Warm-Up 2 Find the measure of each angle. 110 90 150
Isosceles triangles • The base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent. • If a triangle has at least two congruent angles, then it is an isosceles triangle. • If the sides are congruent then the base angles are congruent.
