Example—Writing a congruence statement Write a congruence statement for the congruent triangles and name the postulate you used to know the triangles were congruent. 1. D R S 2. A F E T B C D
Example—what other information is needed What other information do you need to prove the two triangles congruent by SSS or SAS? 1.M T 2. G H Q U R N O VI S
Example—explain triangle congruence Use the SSS or SAS postulate to explain why the triangles are congruent. AB D C
Example—verifying triangle congruence
