Chapter 4.4 Proving triangle
congruence SSS,SAS
Objective: Use the SSS and SAS
postulates for proving angle congruence.
Check.4.35 Prove that two triangles are congruent by applying the
SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, and HL congruence statements.
CLE 3108.4.4 Develop geometric intuition and visualization through
performing geometric constructions with straightedge/compass and
with technology.
CLE 3108.4.8 Establish processes for determining congruence and
similarity of figures, especially as related to scale factor, contextual
applications, and transformations.
Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you're going to do now
and do it." William Durant

Side-Side-Side (SSS)
Congruence
• If the sides of one triangle are
congruent to the sides of a second
triangle then the triangles are
congruent.
• 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
• ABC FDE
• ABC FDE

Draw a triangle, label the vertices X, Y,
and Z
Elsewhere on the paper, use a straight
edge to construct segment RS Such that
RS  XZ
Using R as the center, draw and arc with
radius equal to XY
Using S as the center draw and arc with a
radius equal to YZ.
Let T be the point of intersection of the two
arcs.
