INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

This activity sheet will help learners deepen their understanding

on triangle congruence. Specifically, it focuses on proving of two triangles
that are congruent.

LEARNING SKILLS FROM THE MELCs

The learner proves that two triangles are congruent by SAS and
ASA Postulate and SAA Theorem. (M8GE – Illg -1)

ACTIVITIES

When do we say that the two triangles are congruent? We can

say that two triangles are congruent if they satisfy the condition of either SAS
or ASA Postulate or SAA Theorem. Let’s recall what are they.

The SAS Congruence Postulate

➢ If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent
to the corresponding two sides and included angle of another
triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
A S
If AB ≅ SR ,
∠B ≅ ∠R and
BC ≅ RT, C T
then ∆ABC ≅ ∆SRT. B
R

 The ASA Postulate

➢ If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent
to the corresponding two angles and the included side of another
triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
A Y

If ∠A ≅∠Y ,
AB ≅ YX , and
∠B ≅ ∠ X ,
then ∆ABC ≅ ∆YXZ B C X Z

The SAA or AAS Theorem

➢ 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.

R M

If ∠R ≅∠M ,
∠Y ≅∠O, and
YL ≅ OT
then ∆RYL ≅ ∆MOT Y L O T
