Triangle Congruence by ASA and AAS
4-3
Objective:
To prove two triangles congruent using the
ASA Postulate and the AAS Theorem.
What works and what doesn’t?
Side-Angle-Side (SAS)
YES
Side-Side-Side (SSS)
YES
Angle-Side-Angle (ASA)
Side-Angle-Angle (SAA)
Side-Side-Angle (SSA)
Angle-Angle-Angle (AAA)
(naughty donkey)
NO
Angle-Angle-Angle (AAA)
Is this statement true?
∆MNO
∆PQR
Which two triangles are
congruent by ASA?
Explain.
We already have pairs of ≅ angles. We have
congruent sides but are they included?
Do congruent sides have
congruence markings (ticks)?
