Quarter 3 Module 4

The document explains triangle congruence postulates, specifically SSS, SAS, and ASA, which state that triangles are congruent if their corresponding sides and angles are equal. It provides definitions and examples illustrating included angles and sides, as well as how to identify congruence between triangles using these postulates. The document emphasizes that only three pairs of congruent parts are necessary to establish triangle congruence.

Definition of Congruence
Two triangles are congruent if they have
same size and shape. We can also say
that their corresponding sides are equal in
length and their corresponding interior
angles are equal in measure. We use the
symbol to show congruence.
Illustrative
A. An included angle lies between two named
Examples:
sides of a triangle.
1. and - is the included angle between
_________________________________ the two named
sides.
2. and - _________________________________
is the included angle between the two
3. and - named sides. angle between the two named
_________________________________
is the included
L sides.

The common vertex or common


endpoint of the two named sides
Y S is the included angle.

2. and - _________________________________
is the included side between the two named

The vertices of the two named angles


determine an included side. That is,
the vertices of the two named angles
E L are the endpoints of the included side.

Triangle Congruence
Postulates
Two triangles are congruent if they
•have:
Exactly the same three sides; and
• Exactly the same three angles.
We don’t have to enumerate all the six pairs
of congruent sides and angles. Usually, we use
postulates so that three out of six
congruent parts are enough. A postulate is
a statement that is taken or accepted to be
true even without proof.
These triangle congruence postulates
are:•
SS
• SSA
• SAS
A
1. SSS or Side-Side-Side Congruence
Postulate
“If three sides of one triangle are congruent to the three
corresponding sides of another triangle, then the two
triangles are congruent.”
If NOM has all three sides equal in measure to
the three corresponding sides of ERS, then the
two triangles are congruent by SSS.

Also, we can say that all the


corresponding parts including
all the corresponding angles of
≅ NOM andERS are congruent
≅ given that NOMERS by SSS.
≅
2. SAS or Side-Angle-Side Congruence
Postulate
“If two sides and the included angle of a triangle are
congruent to the corresponding two sides and the included
angle of another triangle, then the two triangles are
congruent.”
≅
∠A ≅ ∠I

Two sides and the included angle on MAR are


congruent to the corresponding two sides and
included angle on NIC. So, by SAS, the two triangles
are congruent.
3. ASA or Angle-Side-Angle Congruence
Postulate
“If two angles and the included side of a triangle are
congruent to the corresponding two angles and the
included side of another triangle, then the two
triangles are congruent.”
