TRANSCRIPT
The symbol = means “is equal to,” while the symbol means “is congruent to.”The symbol = can be used to state that the measures of two objects are equal. The symbol can be used to state that two objects are congruent (like twins)
Warm Up
No, the second statement shows different corresponding vertices than the first statement.
OBJECTIVE:Given two triangles, students will determine whether the triangles are congruent using either the Side-Angle-Side postulate or Hypotenuse-Leg Theorem.
3 sets of sides
Students will apply Sides and Angles to prove triangles congruent by SAS or HL.
Why? So you can show triangles are congruent, as seen in Ex. 33.
Mastery is 80% or better on 5-minute checks and practice problems.

leg
hypotenuse
In a triangle, the angle formed by two given sides is called the____________ of the sides.included angle
A B
C
A is the includedangle of AB and AC
B is the includedangle of BA and BC
C is the includedangle of CA and CB
Using the SSS Postulate, you can show that two triangles are congruent if theircorresponding sides are congruent. You can also show their congruenceby using two sides and the ____________.included angle

another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Skill Develop
Determine whether the triangles are congruent by SAS.
If so, write a statement of congruence and tell why they are congruent.
If not, explain your reasoning.
In your notes, write your response to the following:
P
R
Q
F E
D
NO! D is not the included angle for DF and EF.

Hint: Write a congruence statement first
On a half sheet of paper, copy the figure and solve the problem. This WILL be turned in. You may work with a partner. I am limited on what I can tell you here. Use what you have learned the last two days about congruent triangles.
What was the objective today?
Students will use sides and angles to prove triangles congruent by SAS or HL.
Mastery is 80% or better on 5-minute checks and practice problems.
