  1. Section 4-5 Other Methods of Proving Triangles Congruent

  2. In Section 4-2, we learned three postulates that proved triangles congruent: • SSS Postulate • SAS Postulate • ASA Postulate

  3. Recall: • Postulate is a statement accepted without proof. • Theorem is a statement that can be proved.

  4. AAS Theorem(Angle-Angle-Side) • If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

  6. The next method in proving triangles congruent only applies to right triangles!

  7. Diagram of a Right Triangle Hypotenuse: side opposite the right angle Leg Leg

  8. HL Theorem(Hypotenuse-Leg) • If the hypotenuse and a leg of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
