2. Vocabulary: Congruent -Two figures that have the same size and shape. -Two triangles are congruent if and only if their vertices can be matched up so that the corresponding parts (angles and sides) of the triangle are congruent.

3. Some Ways to Prove Triangles Congruent Some Ways to Prove Triangles Congruent Lesson 2

4. Postulate 12 (SSS Postulate) If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

5. Postulate 13 (SAS Postulate) If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

6. Postulate 14 (ASA Postulate) If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

14. Theorem 4-1 The Isosceles Triangle Theorem If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are congruent. Given: AB ≅ AC Prove: <B ≅ <C A BC D

15. Theorem 4-2 If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite those angles are congruent. Given: <B ≅ <C Prove: AB ≅ AC A BC D

25. Medians, Altitudes, and Perpendicular Bisectors Lesson 7

26. Vocabulary Median: the segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite sides Altitude: the perpendicular segment from the vertex to the line that contains the opposite side.

27. Vocabulary Perpendicular Bisector: a line (or ray or segment) that is perpendicular to the segment at its midpoint. Distance from a Point to a Line (or Plane): the length of the perpendicular segment from the point to the line (or plane).

28. Theorem 4-5 If a point lies on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then the point is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment. Given: Line l is the perpendicular bisector of BC; A is on line l Prove: AB = AC C A B X
