2. Vocabulary Included angle-The Angle formed by two adjacent sides of a polygon.

3. Concept 1

4. Example 1 Use SSS to Prove Triangles Congruent Prove:ΔQUD  ΔADU Given:QU  AD, QD  AU ___

5. Example 1 CYP Which information is missing from the flowproof? Given:AC  AB D is the midpoint of BC. Prove:ΔADC  ΔADB ___ A.AC  AC B.AB  AB C.AD  AD D.CB  BC ___

6. Concept 2

7. Example 3 Use SAS to Prove Triangles are Congruent ENTOMOLOGY The wings of one type of moth form two triangles. Write a two-column proof to prove that ΔFEG  ΔHIG if EI  FH, and G is the midpoint of both EI and FH.
