Lesson 6.7 Congruent Triangles pp. 245-250
Objectives: 1. To prove the Side-Angle-Angle Theorem for triangles. 2. To prove the Isosceles Triangle Theorem. 3. To use these theorems to prove other theorems about congruent triangles.
Theorem 6.19 SAA Congruence Theorem. If two angles of a triangle and a side opposite one of the two angles are congruent to the corresponding angles and side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Theorem 6.20 Isosceles Triangle Theorem. In an isosceles triangle the two base angles are congruent.
Theorem 6.21 If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite those angles are congruent, and the triangle is an isosceles triangle.
Theorem 6.22 A triangle is equilateral if and only if it is equiangular.
