Triangle Congruency Project
Name:
Due Date:
Specifications:
1. Construct a real life object or a work of art to illustrate your understanding of
congruent triangles. Use all five criterions (SSS, SAS, AAS, ASA, HL) for congruency
to make your model.
2. Please mark all the congruent triangles for identification. They should be color
coded to showcase one congruency criterion using that one color. (For instance, the
two triangles with ASA criterion could be colored red). The angle and the side
measures should be labeled (if possible) and filled in the attached table.
3. Examples for this project: a model bridge made of congruent triangles; a decorative
window or door in a building; a computer generated graphic design. Be creative!
4. If you are creating a real-life project, possible materials could be Legos, charts,
stickers, tooth picks, magnets, etc. The geometric instruments that can be used for a
real life project are a protractor, straight edged ruler, etc.
5. Write a reflection regarding your learning experiences and express your thoughts
regarding the real world objects that you view in your everyday life that have to do
with congruent triangles. Also, be sure to address the following in your reflection:
a. Where do you see examples of congruent triangles in real life?
b. What did you observe while making this project?
c. Why do you think that congruent triangles appear in architecture so
often?
6. Sketch the relevant triangles from your figure and explain the congruency criteria
(eg ASA) in table provided.
