Name: ____________________ Date: ____________________ Triangle Congruence Classwork/Homework For 16 determine whether the triangles pictured are congruent.

If they are, name the congruence postulate you used. If they are not, write: cannot be determined.

1. Which postulate gives !LUZ ! !IDA? 3. Which postulate gives !COT ! !NPA? 5. Which postulate gives !KAP ! !AKQ?

2. Which postulate gives !AFD ! !EFD? 4. Which postulate gives !CAV ! !CEV? 6. Given Y is a midpoint, which postulate gives !AYB ! !RYN?

For 712 write a triangle congruence statement using the pictures provided (dont forget, order in naming is important). Also, write the congruence postulate that supports your statement. If you cannot show any triangles to be congruent using the given info, write: cannot be determined and explain why. 7. 8. 9.

13. Refer to the triangles below and the statements and determine which of the statements are correct and which are not. a) !MAX ! !JON? b) !MAX ! !NJO? c) !JON ! !AMX? d) MX = NO? e) The triangles are not congruent

14. State which triangles are congruent and justify each of your statements. The figures may not be drawn to scale, so base your responses on what you know from the figure markings.
