2.2b: Exploring Congruent
Triangles with Proofs
CCSS
G-CO.7
Use the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions to show that two triangles
are congruent if and only if corresponding pairs of sides and corresponding pairs of
angles are congruent
G-CO.8
Explain how the criteria for triangle congruence (ASA, SAS, and SSS) follow from
the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions.
A proof is an argument that uses logic, definitions,
properties, and previously proven statements to show
that a conclusion is true.
An important part of writing a proof is giving
justifications to show that every step is valid.
Example 1: Solving an Equation in Algebra
Solve the equation 4m – 8 = –12. Write a
justification for each step.
4m – 8 = –12
