Aim: Do Now: How do we prove overlapping triangles are congruent? State the names of two triangles in each diagram: 2) F M B R H 1) A B C D 3) S Q G L 4) A G K P D V

Proofs w/overlapping triangles: 1) Re-draw the diagram, separating the triangles. 2) Use Reflexive Postulate if any shared sides or angles are needed in the proof. A B C D Given: Prove: A B C D Given Reflexive Postulate S.S.S. Postulate Geometry Lesson: Proofs With Overlapping Triangles
