Congruent triangles have 3 congruent sides and 3 congruent angles.

The parts of congruent triangles that “match” are called corresponding parts.

In a congruence statement

ORDER MATTERS!!!! Everything matches up.

There are 5 ways to prove

triangles congruent.

Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence Postulate

All Three sides in one triangle are congruent to all

three sides in the other triangle

Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Congruence Postulate

Two sides and the INCLUDED angle

(the angle is in between the 2 marked sides)

Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) Congruence Postulate

Two Angles and One Side that is NOT

included

Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Congruence Postulate

Two angles and the INCLUDED side

(the side is in between the 2 marked angles)

There is one more way to prove triangles congruent, but

it’s only for RIGHT TRIANGLES…Hypotenuse Leg

} Your Only Ways To Prove Triangles Are

Congruent

NO BAD WORDS

2 markings you can add if they aren’t marked

already

Share a side

Reason: reflexive property

Vertical Angles

Reason: Vertical Angles are congruent
