DO NOW!!! Solve for “x”.
Triangle Congruence
SSS: Side Side Side If 3 sides of one triangle are congruent to 3 sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
SAS: Side Angle Side If 2 sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to 2 sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
ASA: Angle Side Angle If 2 angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the 2 angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
AAS: Angle Angle Side If 2 angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding 2 angles and side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
HL: Hypotenuse Leg If the hypotenuse and leg of one right triangle are congruent to hypotenuse and leg of another right triangle, they are congruent.
IMPORTANT!!! If the congruence theorem spells a bad word, the triangles are not congruent.
Guided Practice (CFU) For each pair of triangles below: Are the triangles congruent? If so, by what theorem? If so, write a congruence statement.
