Match the following

• SSS

• 
• ASA

• 
• H-L (R)

• 
• AAS

• 
• SAS

• 

You want to prove that the corresponding sides of 2 triangles are congruent to each other. What are your steps?

• Use Geometry tools (postulates or theorems) to secure additional congruent sides or angles

• List any given Congruent angles & sides

• State the two triangles are congruent by 1 of these: SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, or HL(R).

• State that the remaining corresponding sides and angles are congruent

Match the following common "proof" tools we often use.

• Parallel lines → "≅" Alt Int ∡s

• Converse of Alternate interior Angles Theorem

• congruent, adjacent segments

• vertical angles

• cutting an angle/segment into 2 ≅ parts

• Alternate interior Angles Theorem

• "≅" Alt Int ∡s → lines are parallel

• Bisection

• congruent angles that share a vertex

• Midpoint
