5. 6 Proving Triangles Congruent using ASA and AAS Geometry EQ: What other ways can you prove triangles congruent?

Goals Use ASA and AAS postulates to prove two triangles are congruent. n Solve problems using congruence postulates. n 24 November 2020 Geometry 5. 6 Proving Triangles Congruent: ASA, AAS 2

Included Sides C AC is included between A and C. AB is included between A and B. A 24 November 2020 B CB is included between C and B. Geometry 5. 6 Proving Triangles Congruent: ASA, AAS 3

Theorem 5. 10: Angle-Side-Angle If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. (ASA) C Z A B X Y ABC XYZ 24 November 2020 Geometry 5. 6 Proving Triangles Congruent: ASA, AAS 4
