Geometry4.5 Other Methods of Proving
Triangles Congruent
In Chapter 3 you were introduced to this corollary:if 2 angles of one triangle are congruent to 2 angles of
another triangle, then the 3rd angles are congruent.
We have 2 congruent angles and one congruent side………but the side is not the included side. Can anything be proved?
This would allow us to conclude that angles A and B are congruent, and would create an ASA congruence.
AB
So the moral to the story is: any two congruent angles and one congruent side gives you congruent triangles.
The AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) Theorem

CB
ABC
If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Right Triangle Vocabulary
Remember the definition of a right triangle It has one right angle
The HL (Hypotenuse - Leg) Theorem
ABC
If the hypotenuse and a leg of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Homework
pg. 142 CE #1-13
WE # 1-8
Bring CompassJust a reminder of what’s allowed in the bins: EMPTY plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and paper. Whats NOT allowed: wrappers, gum, Ziploc baggies, half-empty beverages. If these items are in the bins, then the whole bin gets dumped into the trash. Last week, I spent the first 5 minutes of each class demonstrating what goes in each receptacle. Since this small demonstration, my students have been very good about proper placement of waste items in my classroom.
Let’s do a few from the homework
Turn to pg. 142 CE #5, #6 , #10
