Objective: Prove triangle congruence using SSS and SAS. Warm up Mark the angles and sides of each triangle to indicate congruent parts. a.
b.
Two figures are congruent if and only if : one can be mapped onto the other by one or more rigid transformations. 2. Are the two triangles congruent? Justify your answer.
(1) transformation
(2) transformation
Are the two triangles congruent?
Short Cuts to prove triangles are congruent
Side-Side-Side (SSS) Three pairs of congruent sides
Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Two pairs of congruent sides and one pair of congruent angles included between the two congruent sides.
Example 1 Are triangle RQP and triangle VTS congruent Example 1 Are triangle RQP and triangle VTS congruent? Justify your answer.
Example 2 Determine which triangles are congruent Example 2 Determine which triangles are congruent. Name the congruence conjecture that justify your answer. a.
c. d.
Example 3

Congruence Shortcuts?
Congruent triangle conjectures SSS (three sides are congruent) SAS (two sides and the included angle) ASA (two angles and the included side) AAS (two angles and the non-included side)
