Introductory Message
This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear
learners, can continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities,
questions, directions, exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for
you to understand each lesson.
Thank you.
What I Need to Know
This module is designed for you to understand what it means for two
triangles to be congruent and the ways to prove that these triangles are
congruent using the theorems and postulates on triangle congruence. This
will help you also learn how to prove some theorems of triangle congruence
including the right triangles. You will be guided on how to make statements
step-by-step and how to make reasons in each corresponding statement.
The scope of this module enables you to use it in many different learning
situations. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the
course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to
correspond with the textbook you are now using.

What is It
Let us now recall the conditions under which two triangles are congruent.
If two sides and an included angle of one triangle are congruent to the
corresponding two sides and the included angle of another triangle,
then the triangles are congruent.
If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the
corresponding two angles and an included side of another triangle,
then the triangles are congruent.
Suppose you are given the measures of two angles and a non-
included side, are these information sufficient to prove the congruence of
the two triangles?
If two angles and the non-included side of one triangle are congruent respectively to the
two angles and the non-included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are
congruent.

D ≅ C , G ≅ T as marked, while DO ≅ CA

Another theorem that can be deduced from the congruence
postulates are the congruence of right triangles. Below are the illustrations
and descriptions of each theorem.
If the hypotenuse and an acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to the
corresponding hypotenuse and an acute angle of another right triangle, then the triangles
are congruent.
If the hypotenuse and a leg of one right triangle are congruent to the
corresponding hypotenuse and a leg of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

CO_Q3_Mathematics 8_Module 6
LA (leg-acute angle) Congruence Theorem
If a leg and an acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to a leg and an
acute angle of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Figure 4
If the legs of one right triangle are congruent to the legs of another right triangle,
then the triangles are congruent.

angles of a triangle is 180°. Because the two corresponding pairs
of angles are already congruent, so the third pair of angles are
also congruent.
Thus, the two triangles can be proven either by ASA congruence
postulate

The Buntun bridge spans the Cagayan River. It is 1,369 m long and
said to be the longest river bridge in the country. It was opened in 1947
and has been known as the gateway to the City of Tuguegarao.
The bridge has never been flooded by
the river but it almost did when
typhoons Ondoy and Juan hit the city.
One of the reasons why it still stands
magnificently until today because of
its structures that are made of
congruent triangles.
