Postulate 21: Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. Example: because of ASA. P L Q R M N
Theorem 4.6: Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and a non-included side of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. Example: because of AAS. P L Q R M N
Triangles are congruent when you have… SSS AAS SAS ASA HL
Triangles are not congruent when you have… ASS AAA
Review from old chapters Bisector: Cuts the segment or angle into two congruent pieces. Midpoint of a segment: Cuts the segment into two congruent pieces. Perpendicular lines: Two lines that intersect at a right angle (90 degrees). Vertical angles: Angles “across” from each other- they are congruent to each other.
