5.3 Proving Triangles Congurent using SAS
What we will learn Prove triangles congruent using side angle side theorem Using diagrams
SAS Theorem If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
Ex. 1 and 2 Proving Triangles Congruent Statement Reason 1. 1. Given 2. 𝐴𝐶 ≅ 𝐴𝐶 2. Reflex. Prop. 3. ∠𝐵𝐶𝐴≅∠𝐷𝐴𝐶 3. Alt. Int. Angles 4. △𝐴𝐵𝐶≅△𝐶𝐷𝐴 4. SAS
