SSS and SAS triangle congruence — Homework
For each pair of triangles, state whether SSS or SAS applies, or explain why neither does yet.
- 1.Triangle ABC and triangle DEF: AB ~= DE, BC ~= EF, AC ~= DF. Which postulate applies?
- 2.Triangle GHI and triangle JKL: GH ~= JK, angle H ~= angle K, HI ~= KL. Which postulate applies?
- 3.Triangle MNP has MN ~= 8, angle M = 50 degrees, MP ~= 5. A second triangle has the same three measurements in the same pattern. Which postulate proves them congruent?
- 4.Two triangles share side QR. Along with QR ~= QR, you are given PQ ~= SQ and angle Q ~= angle Q. Which postulate applies, and what justifies angle Q ~= angle Q?
- 5.Explain why three pairs of congruent ANGLES (AAA) would not be enough to prove two triangles congruent.
