1. Proving Triangles Congruent: SSS and SAS
GEOMETRY – SECTION 4.3

2. Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence Postulate
If 3 sides of one triangle are congruent to 3 sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. If all 3 sides match, then .

3. Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Congruence Postulate
If 2 sides of one triangle and the angle they form are congruent to 2 sides of another triangle and the
angle they form, then the triangles are congruent.

4. Decide if the triangles are congruent
Decide if the triangles are congruent. If so, state the congruence postulate that applies.

5. Decide if the triangles are congruent
Decide if the triangles are congruent. If so, state the congruence postulate that applies.

6. Decide if the triangles are congruent
Decide if the triangles are congruent. If so, state the congruence postulate that applies.
