    Triangle Congruece Postulate

    Uploaded by

    Jerieca Lyka Sapungan-Rubio
    The document discusses different postulates and theorems for proving that two triangles are congruent, including: 1. SSS (side-side-side), SAS (side-angle-side), ASA (angle-side-angle), and AAS (angle-angle-side) can be used to prove triangles are congruent if the specified parts are congruent. 2. SSA and AAA cannot prove triangles are congruent on their own. 3. Examples are provided to demonstrate applying the SSS, SAS, ASA, and AAS postulates/theorem to determine if two triangles are congruent based on given information about corresponding parts.

    . . . about two triangles

    to prove that they


    are congruent?
    Corresponding Parts
    You learned that if all six pairs of
    corresponding parts (sides and angles)
    are congruent, then the triangles are
