Geometry 4-3 Triangle Congruence by ASA and AAS
Investigation Break one piece of spaghetti into three similar length sizes. Arrange the pieces into a triangle How many different triangles can you make? Trace each that is different and compare.
Included Sides An “Included Side” is the side that is directly between two angles
Which side in the following triangle is the “included side”? A B Included Sides
Which side in the following triangle is the “included side”? A B Included Sides
Which side in the following triangle is the “included side”? A B Included Sides
Which side in the following triangle is the “included side”? A B Included Sides
Investigating ASA Get your supplies ready –Ruler –Marker or pencil –Two sheets of Patty Paper
Investigating ASA Draw a triangle on one sheet of Patty Paper
Investigating ASA Pick and mark two angles of the triangle A B
Investigating ASA Copy the marked angle and the two adjacent sides Cut them out, the sides can be any length
Investigating ASA Using the Angle – Side - Angle that you cut out Can you form any triangle that is NOT congruent to the original triangle?
Investigating ASA Is it possible to form a new triangle that is NOT congruent to your original triangle? This is called Angle-Side-Angle congruence

Non-Included Sides An “Non-Included Side” is the side that is Adjacent to two angles

Describe the following triangle congruence A B Identify The Congruency AAS
Investigating AAS Get your supplies ready –Ruler –Marker or pencil –Two sheets of Patty Paper –Scissors
Investigating AAS Draw a triangle on one sheet of Patty Paper
Investigating AAS Pick and mark two angles of the triangle A B
Investigating AAS Mark an adjacent side A B
Investigating AAS Copy the marked side, and its adjacent angle only onto a piece of patty paper Cut it out
Investigating AAS Copy the OTHER angle onto a piece of patty paper, cut it out
Investigating AAS Using the Angle – Angle - Side that you cut out Can you form any triangle that is NOT congruent to the original triangle?
