4.2 Triangle Congruence by SSS and SAS 12/4
Learning Target I can prove two triangles congruent using the SAS and SSS postulates.
Vocabulary Side-Side-Side (SSS) Postulate: If three sides of one triangle are congruent to the three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
SSS Example ABC ≅ DEF
Vocabulary Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Postulate: If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
SAS Example CBA ≅ FED
