Methods of Proving (Showing) Triangles to be Congruent |
|
SSS |
If
three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle,
the triangles are congruent. |
SAS |
If
two sides and the included angle of one triangle
are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, the triangles
are congruent. |
ASA |
If
two angles and the included side of one
triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, the
triangles are congruent. |
AAS |
If
two angles and the non-included side of one
triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, the
triangles are congruent. |
HL |
If
the hypotenuse and leg of one right triangle
are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, the right
triangles are congruent |
