Lesson 6

The document contains notes from a math lesson on triangle congruence including definitions of the three triangle congruence postulates (SAS, ASA, SSS), examples of applying these postulates to show triangles are congruent, the triangle inequality theorem, and exercises identifying congruent triangles and determining if sets of side lengths could form triangles. It provides instruction on key concepts and theorems regarding triangle congruence and related geometry proofs.

Each angle of a triangle are formed by two sides of the


triangle. In relation to the two sides this angle is called the
included angle. The same applies for each side because each
side is in between two angles (included side).

The SAS Postulate


If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two
corresponding sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the
triangles are congruent.

The ASA Postulate


If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two
corresponding angles and the included side of another triangle, then the
triangles are congruent.

Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are


congruent, or CPCTC, is used in proofs of many
theorems. It is used in the Isosceles Triangle Theorem.

The Isosceles Triangle Theorem

If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are
congruent. This is often stated as:

Base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent.

Prove: ∠ A ⩭ ∠ C B
