What’s In
Activity1: “Correct me if I’m wrong”
Directions: Read the statements carefully. Put a check mark on the space provided if the underlined word/phrase in the statement is true, otherwise write the correct
word/phrase that will make the it true.
1. The SSS Postulate (________) states that if three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.
2. Congruent (____________) triangles are triangles with equal measurements in three sides and three angles.
3. The HL Postulate states that if the hypotenuse and leg of any (________) triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and leg of another right triangle, then the two triangles are
congruent. 4. SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS and AAA (________) Postulates are five ways to prove that two
triangles are congruent. 5. The converse of CPCTC is that every corresponding part of two triangles are
congruent, then the triangles are congruent (___________).

Activity 2: “Do you know us?” Directions: Read and understand each statement carefully. Match Column A with
Column B. Column A Column B
1. I am a polygon with three sides and three angles. a. HL Postulate 2. The two of us are equal. b. Triangle 3. They use these to prove that we are equal. c. congruent
4. They used this proof when we are right angle triangles d. Postulate 5. We can be proven using our three sides. e. ASA Postulate
f. SSS Postulate
What is it
Two triangles are congruent if they have:
exactly the same three sides and exactly the same three angles.
We don't have to know all three sides and all three angles. Knowing three out of the six is enough.
There are five ways to find if two triangles are congruent: SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS and HL.
1.) SSS stands for "side, side, side" and means that we have two triangles with all three
sides equal.
For example:
is congruent to
SSS Congruence Postulate
If three sides of a triangle are congruent respectively to three
sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Given: E is the midpoint of AC and BD
AB DC
Prove: AEB CED
Proof:
Statement Reason
1. E is the midpoint of AC and BD 1.Given
2. AE CE, BE DE 2.Definition of a midpoint
3. AB DC 3.Given
4. AEB CED 4.SSS Congruence Postulate
2.) SAS stands for "side, angle, side" and means that we have two triangles where we
know two sides and the included angle are equal.
For example:
is congruent to
Given: DC AB at its midpoint C.
Prove: DA DB
Proof:
Statement Reason
1. The midpoint of AB is C 1.Given
2. AC CB 2.Definition of a Midpoint
3. DC DC 3.Reflexive Property
4. DCA and DCB are right angles
4.Definition of Perpendicular lines
5. DCA DCB 5.All rights angles are congruent
6. DCA DCB 6.SAS Congruence Postulate
7. DA DB 7.CPCTC
In the example above, DC is called the perpendicular bisector of AB.
SAS Congruence Postulate
If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent
respectively to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then
the two triangles are congruent.

3.) ASA stands for "angle, side, angle" and means that we have two triangles where we know two angles and the included side are equal.
For example:
is congruent to
Given: E is the midpoint of AD,
EA bisects BEF, A D
Prove: ABE DCE
Proof:
Statement Reason
1. E is the midpoint of AD 1.Given
2. AE DE 2.Definition of a Midpoint
3. EA bisects BOP 3.Given
4. 4.Definition of an angle bisector
5. 5.Vertical Angle Theorem
6. 6.Transitivity
7. A D 7.Given
8. ABE DCE 8.ASA Congruence Postulate
4.) AAS stands for "angle, angle, side" and means that we have two triangles where we
know two angles and the non-included side are equal.
For example:
is congruent to
ASA Congruence Postulate
If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent
respectively to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then
the two triangles are congruent.
AAS Congruence Postulate
If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent
to two angles and non-included side of another triangle, then the two
triangles are congruent.

Given: D and B are right angles.
Prove: ABC CDA
Statement Reason
1. D and B are right angles 1.Given
2.
3. D B 2.All right angles are congruent
4. 3.Given
5. AC AC 4.Reflexive Property
6. ABC CDA 5.AAS Congruence Postulate
5.) HL stands for "Hypotenuse, Leg" (the longest side of a right-angled triangle is called the "hypotenuse", the other two sides are called "legs")
It means we have two right-angled triangles with
the same length of hypotenuse and the same length for one of the other two legs.
It doesn't matter which leg since the triangles could be rotated.
This one applies only to right angled-triangles!
For example:
is congruent to
HyL Congruence Theorem
If a leg and the hypotenuse of one right triangle are congruent to a
corresponding leg and the hypotenuse of another right triangle, then the
triangles are congruent.
