Targeted TEKS G.6(B) Prove two triangles are congruent by applying the Side- Angle-Side, Angle-Side-Angle, Side-Side-Side, Angle-Angle-Side, and Hypotenuse-Leg congruence conditions. G.6(D) Verify theorems about the relationships in triangles, including proof of the Pythagorean Theorem, the sum of interior angles, base angles of isosceles triangles, mid-segments, and medians, and apply these relationships to solve problems.

SSS on the Coordinate Plane
Triangle DVW has vertices D(–5, –1), V(–1, –2), and W(–7, –4). Triangle LPM has vertices L(1, –5), P(2, –1), and M(4, –7). a. Graph both triangles on the same coordinate plane. b. Use your graph to make a conjecture as to whether the triangles are congruent. Explain your reasoning. c. Write a logical argument that uses coordinate geometry to support the conjecture you made in part b. Example 2A

Solve the Item a. Graph both triangles on
SSS on the Coordinate Plane Read the Item You are asked to do three things in this problem. In part a, you are to graph ΔDVW and ΔLPM on the same coordinate plane. In part b, you should make a conjecture that ΔDVW ΔLPM or ΔDVW ΔLPM based on your graph. Finally, in part c, you are asked to prove your conjecture. / Solve the Item a. Graph both triangles on the same coordinate plane. Example 2B
18
SSS on the Coordinate Plane
b. From the graph, it appears that the triangles have the same shapes, so we conjecture that they are congruent. c. Use the Distance Formula to show all corresponding sides have the same measure. Example 2C
