    Congruence Postulates

    Uploaded by

    Mikaela Gabrielle Malinis
    This document discusses different ways to prove that two triangles are congruent. It introduces the definition of congruent figures as having the same size and shape. There are three main congruence postulates that can be used to prove triangles are congruent: SSS (side-side-side), SAS (side-angle-side), and ASA (angle-side-angle). The document provides examples of how to apply each postulate and warns that SSA and AAA cannot be used alone to prove triangles are congruent. It encourages practicing identifying the appropriate postulate to show congruence in different scenarios.

    How much do you
    need to know
    about two triangles
    to prove that
    they are congruent?
    CONGRUENT TRIANGLES
    If all six pairs of corresponding parts
    (sides and angles) are congruent,
    then the triangles are congruent.
