6 Proving Triangles Congruent
This one is a THEOREM!!

7 Proving Triangles Congruent
_ H L This one is a THEOREM!!

8 CAUTION!! BE CAREFUL!!! NOT ALL combinations S & A will give congruent triangles.

9 AAA AAA is NOT a method to prove two triangles congruent. It will show two triangles that have the same SHAPE, but NOT necessarily the same SIZE!!

10 SSA (OR ASS) This is humorously referred to as the Donkey Theorem. It is NOT a valid way to show two triangles are congruent!!
