Aim: Triangle Congruence - SSS Course: Applied Geometry Do Now: Aim: How to prove triangles are congruent using a 2 nd shortcut: SSS.
Aim: Triangle Congruence - SSS Course: Applied Geometry Sketch 13 – Shortcut #2 SSS SSS Copied 3 sides AB A’B’, BC B’C’, BC B’C’ Copied 3 sides AB A’B’, BC B’C’, BC B’C’ Shortcut for proving congruence in triangles: Measurements showed: ABC A’B’C’ B A C B’ A’ C’
Aim: Triangle Congruence - SSS Course: Applied Geometry Side-Side-Side II. SSS = SSS Two triangles are congruent if the three sides of one triangle are equal in measure to the three sides of the other triangle. S represents a side of the triangle. A BB’CC’ A’ If AC = A'C', CB = C'B', BA = B'A', then ABC = A'B'C' If SSS SSS, then the triangles are congruent.
Aim: Triangle Congruence - SSS Course: Applied Geometry Model Problems Is the given information sufficient to prove congruent triangles?
Aim: Triangle Congruence - SSS Course: Applied Geometry Model Problems Name the pair of corresponding sides that would have to be proved congruent in order to prove that the triangles are congruent by SSS.
Aim: Triangle Congruence - SSS Course: Applied Geometry Model Problem You are given: Isosceles triangle ABC with CA CB with D the midpoint of base AB. Explain how ACD BCD CA CB – we’re told so AD DB – a midpoint of a segment cuts the segment into two congruent parts CD CD – any figure is equal to itself The two triangles are congruent because of SSS SSS (S S)
Aim: Triangle Congruence - SSS Course: Applied Geometry Model Problem You are given: T is the midpoint of PQ, PQ bisects RS, and RQ SP. Explain how RTQ STP. RQ SP – we’re told so PT TQ – a midpoint of a segment cuts the segment into two congruent parts RT TS – a bisector divides a segment into 2 congruent parts RTQ STP because of SSS SSS (S S)
