1. CHAPTER 4 Congruent Triangles

2. What does CONGRUENCE mean? Congruent angles- have equal measures Congruent segments- have equal lengths

12. What did you notice about these pictures? What does it mean for two objects or figures to be congruent? Congruent figures- have the same shape and size What about congruent triangles?

13. Congruent Triangles (same shape and size)

14. Are these triangles congruent?

15. Can you rotate or reflect them so that they fit on top of one another?

16. What are the corresponding angles? A F E D C B

17. What are the corresponding sides? A F E D C B

18. Congruent triangles have the same shape Corresponding angles are congruent Congruent triangles have the same size Corresponding sides are congruent

22. Congruent Polygons Polygon- closed plane figure (lies in a plane) formed by three or more segments. Each segment intersects two other segments at their endpoints Congruent polygons- polygons that have congruent corresponding parts “Corresponding parts”-matching sides and angles Naming congruent polygons- list corresponding vertices in the same order Polygons are congruent if and only if their vertices can be matched up so that their corresponding parts are congruent.

23. Congruent Figures Congruent polygons – have congruent corresponding parts List corresponding vertices in the same order List all congruent corresponding parts (sides & angles) ABCD ≅ HGFE

24. Third Angles Theorem If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the third angles are congruent. Proof of this Theorem on p.220

29. Triangle Congruence (4-2) Side-Side-Side (SSS) Postulate If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

30. Triangle Congruence (4-2) Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Postulate If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle in a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

34. Triangle Congruence (4-3) Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) Theorem If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and a non-included side in a second triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

35. Triangle Congruence (4-3) Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Postulate If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side in a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
