NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM Lesson 24 M1 GEOMETRY Lesson 24: Congruence Criteria for Triangles—ASA and SSS Student Outcomes ๏ง Students learn why any two triangles that satisfy the ASA or SSS congruence criteria must be congruent. Lesson Notes This is the third lesson in the congruency topic. So far, students have studied the SAS triangle congruence criteria and how to prove base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent. Students examine two more triangle congruence criteria in this lesson: ASA and SSS. Each proof assumes the initial steps from the proof of SAS; ask students to refer to their notes on SAS to recall these steps before proceeding with the rest of the proof. Exercises require using all three triangle congruence criteria. Classwork Opening Exercise (7 minutes) Opening Exercise Use the provided ๐๐° angle as one base angle of an isosceles triangle. Use a compass and straight edge to construct an appropriate isosceles triangle around it. Compare your constructed isosceles triangle with a neighbor’s. Does using a given angle measure guarantee that all the triangles constructed in class have corresponding sides of equal lengths? No, side lengths may vary. Discussion (24 minutes) There are a variety of proofs of the ASA and SSS criteria. These follow from the SAS criteria already proved in Lesson 22. Discussion Today we are going to examine two more triangle congruence criteria, Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) and Side-Side-Side (SSS), to add to the SAS criteria we have already learned. We begin with the ASA criteria. ANGLE-SIDE-ANGLE TRIANGLE CONGRUENCE CRITERIA (ASA): Given two triangles โณ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ช and โณ ๐จ′๐ฉ′๐ช′. If ๐∠๐ช๐จ๐ฉ = ๐∠๐ช′ ๐จ′ ๐ฉ′ (Angle), ๐จ๐ฉ = ๐จ′๐ฉ′ (Side), and ๐∠๐ช๐ฉ๐จ = ๐∠๐ช′ ๐ฉ′ ๐จ′ (Angle), then the triangles are congruent.

NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM Lesson 24 M1 GEOMETRY PROOF: We do not begin at the very beginning of this proof. Revisit your notes on the SAS proof, and recall that there are three cases to consider when comparing two triangles. In the most general case, when comparing two distinct triangles, we translate one vertex to another (choose congruent corresponding angles). A rotation brings congruent, corresponding sides together. Since the ASA criteria allows for these steps, we begin here. In order to map โณ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ช′′′ to โณ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ช, we apply a reflection ๐ across the line ๐จ๐ฉ. A reflection maps ๐จ to ๐จ and ๐ฉ to ๐ฉ, since they are on line ๐จ๐ฉ. However, we say that ๐(๐ช′′′) = ๐ช∗. Though we know that ๐(๐ช′′′) is now in the same half-plane of line ๐จ๐ฉ as ๐ช, we cannot assume that ๐ช′′′ maps to ๐ช. So we have ๐(โณ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ช′′′ ) = โณ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ช∗. To prove the theorem, we need to verify that ๐ช∗ is ๐ช. By hypothesis, we know that ∠๐ช๐จ๐ฉ ≅ ∠๐ช′′′๐จ๐ฉ (recall that ∠๐ช′′′๐จ๐ฉ is the result of two rigid motions of ∠๐ช′ ๐จ′ ๐ฉ′ , so must have the same angle measure as ∠๐ช′ ๐จ′ ๐ฉ′ ). Similarly, ∠๐ช๐ฉ๐จ ≅ ∠๐ช′′′๐ฉ๐จ. Since ∠๐ช๐จ๐ฉ ≅ ๐(∠๐ช′′′ ๐จ๐ฉ) ≅ ∠๐ช∗ ๐จ๐ฉ, and ๐ช โโโโโ and โโโโโโโ and ๐ช∗ are in the same half-plane of line ๐จ๐ฉ, we conclude that ๐จ๐ช ๐จ๐ช∗ must actually be the same ray. Because the ∗ ∗ โโโโโ , the point ๐ช must be a point somewhere on ๐จ๐ช โโโโโ . Using the second equality of points ๐จ and ๐ช define the same ray as ๐จ๐ช angles, ∠๐ช๐ฉ๐จ ≅ ๐(∠๐ช′′′ ๐ฉ๐จ) ≅ ∠๐ช∗ ๐ฉ๐จ, we can also conclude that โโโโโโ ๐ฉ๐ช and โโโโโโโ ๐ฉ๐ช∗ must be the same ray. Therefore, the point ๐ช∗ must also be on โโโโโโ ๐ฉ๐ช. Since ๐ช∗ is on both โโโโโ ๐จ๐ช and โโโโโโ ๐ฉ๐ช, and the two rays only have one point in common, namely ๐ช, we conclude that ๐ช = ๐ช∗. We have now used a series of rigid motions to map two triangles onto one another that meet the ASA criteria. SIDE-SIDE-SIDE TRIANGLE CONGRUENCE CRITERIA (SSS): Given two triangles โณ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ช and โณ ๐จ′๐ฉ′๐ช′, if ๐จ๐ฉ = ๐จ′๐ฉ′ (Side), ๐จ๐ช = ๐จ′๐ช′ (Side), and ๐ฉ๐ช = ๐ฉ′๐ช′ (Side), then the triangles are congruent. PROOF: Again, we do not start at the beginning of this proof, but assume there is a congruence that brings a pair of corresponding sides together, namely the longest side of each triangle. Without any information about the angles of the triangles, we cannot perform a reflection as we have in the proofs for SAS and ASA. What can we do? First we add a construction: Draw an auxiliary line from ๐ฉ to ๐ฉ′, and label the angles created by the auxiliary line as ๐, ๐, ๐, and ๐.

NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM Lesson 24 M1 GEOMETRY Since ๐จ๐ฉ = ๐จ๐ฉ′ and ๐ช๐ฉ = ๐ช๐ฉ′, โณ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฉ′ and โณ ๐ช๐ฉ๐ฉ′ are both isosceles triangles respectively by definition. Therefore, ๐ = ๐ because they are base angles of an isosceles triangle ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฉ′. Similarly, ๐∠๐ = ๐∠๐ because they are base angles of โณ ๐ช๐ฉ๐ฉ′. Hence, ∠๐จ๐ฉ๐ช = ๐∠๐ + ๐∠๐ = ๐∠๐ + ๐∠๐ = ∠๐จ๐ฉ′ ๐ช. Since ๐∠๐จ๐ฉ๐ช = ๐∠๐จ๐ฉ′๐ช, we say that โณ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ช ≅ โณ ๐จ๐ฉ′๐ช by SAS. We have now used a series of rigid motions and a construction to map two triangles that meet the SSS criteria onto one another. Note that when using the Side-Side-Side triangle congruence criteria as a reason in a proof, you need only state the congruence and SSS. Similarly, when using the Angle-Side-Angle congruence as a reason in a proof, you need only state the congruence and ASA. Now we have three triangle congruence criteria at our disposal: SAS, ASA, and SSS. We use these criteria to determine whether or not pairs of triangles are congruent. Exercises (6 minutes) These exercises involve applying the newly developed congruence criteria to a variety of diagrams. Exercises Based on the information provided, determine whether a congruence exists between triangles. If a congruence exists between triangles or if multiple congruencies exist, state the congruencies and the criteria used to determine them. 1.

This would also have allowed us to prove that โณ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฌ ≅ โณ ๐จ๐ช๐ฌ.” Do you agree? Why or why not? Yes; any time angles are equal in measure, we can also say that they are congruent. This is because rigid motions preserve angle measure; therefore, any time angles are equal in measure, there exists a sequence of rigid motions that carries one onto the other.
