Lesson 25: SSS Triangle Congruence Geometry
Vocabulary Corresponding sides and corresponding angles of polygons are those that are in the same position in two different polygons with the same number of sides. Corresponding parts are indicated by the names of the polygons. We name polygons in the order that their parts correspond. Congruent triangles : triangles where all their corresponding sides and angles are congruent’ Triangle rigidity: a triangle can have only one size and shape
SSS and CPCTC Postulate 13: Side-Side-Side Congruence Postulate : If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent CPCTC : an abbreviation for the phrase “Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent”
Example X Y Z L M K
Write a congruence statement for the two triangles below. K L M RP Q
Example Identify the congruent sides and angles of the two triangles below and write six congruence statements. C A BZ X Y
Example A DB C
Homework Questions
Correcting Homework Get your homework out so I can stamp it. If you do not have your homework complete, write your name on the board. Use red pen/pencil to correct. Trade with someone who has the homework done. If you didn’t get it done, you need to be working on finishing it now. Remember no cheating and no work = no credit. Make sure you write CB with your name or you will lose your citizenship points for today.
