Apply SSS and SAS to construct triangles and solve problems. 

Prove triangles congruent by using SSS and SAS.

Objectives

Sep 13­10:48 AM

In Lesson 4­3, 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. It states that if the side lengths of a triangle are given, the triangle can have only one shape.

For example, you only need to know that two triangles have three pairs of congruent corresponding sides. This can be expressed as the following postulate.

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

The SAS Postulate guarantees that if you are given the lengths of two sides and the measure of the included angles, you can construct one and only one triangle.
