G-10 Triangle Congruence SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, HL I can test to see if two triangles are congruent by identifying, comparing and contrasting what it means to be ASA, SAS, SSS, AAS and HL

Don’t Write This! • In G-09, you proved triangles congruent by showing that all six pairs of corresponding parts were congruent. • The property of triangle rigidity gives you a shortcut for proving two triangles congruent.

SSS – side, side

An included angle is an angle formed by two adjacent sides of a polygon. B is the included angle between sides AB and BC.

SAS – side, angle, side

Caution The letters SAS are written in that order because the congruent angles must be between pairs of congruent corresponding sides.

An included side is the common side of two consecutive angles in a polygon. The following postulate uses the idea of an included side.

ASA – angle, side, angle

AAS – angle, side

HL – Hypotenuse, leg
