What It Is
Lesson: TRIANGLE CONGRUENCE POSTULATE
A. SSS Congruence Postulate If three sides of a triangle are congruent respectively to the three
(Side-Side-Side) sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
A X
B C Y Z
̅̅̅̅ ≅ 𝑿𝒁
If 𝑨𝑪 ̅̅̅̅, 𝑨𝑩
̅̅̅̅ ≅ 𝑿𝒀
̅̅̅̅, and 𝑩𝑪
̅̅̅̅ ≅ 𝒀𝒁
̅̅̅̅, then ∆𝑨𝑩𝑪 ≅ ∆𝑿𝒀𝒁 by SSS Congruence Postulate.
If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent
B. SAS Congruence Postulate
respectively to two sides and the included angle of another triangle,
then the two triangles are congruent.
(Side-Angle-Side)
*Include angle is an angle between two sides of a triangle.
A R
If ̅̅̅̅
𝑨𝑩 ≅ ̅̅̅̅
𝑹𝑺, ∠B ≅ ∠G and ̅̅̅̅
𝑩𝑪 ≅ ̅̅̅̅
𝑺𝑻, then ∆𝑨𝑩𝑪 ≅ ∆𝑹𝑺𝑻 by SAS congruence postulate.
If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent
C. ASA Congruence Postulate
respectively to two angles and the included side of another triangle,
then the two triangles are congruent.
(Angle-Side-Angle)
*Include side is a side between two angles of a triangle.
A L
B C M N
included side
If ∠B ≅ ∠M, ̅̅̅̅
𝑩𝑪 ≅ ̅̅̅̅̅
𝑴𝑵 and ∠C ≅ ∠N, then ∆𝑨𝑩𝑪 ≅ ∆𝑳𝑴𝑵 by ASA congruence postulate.
