INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

Two triangles are congruent if the six pairs of corresponding parts are
congruent. However, it is not necessary to compare all the six pairs of corresponding
parts to establish triangle congruence. This Learning Activity Sheet will help you show
the triangle congruence of two triangles by comparing only three pairs of
corresponding parts.

LEARNING SKILLS FROM THE MELCS

After going through this activity sheet, you are expected to illustrate SAS,
ASA and SSS congruence postulates (M8GE-IIId-e-1)

ACTIVITIES

• Included angle is the angle between two sides of a triangle.

• Included side is the side common to two angles of a triangle.

In ∆SON ∠S is an included angle between ̅̅̅̅

SN and ̅̅̅̅
SO.
∠O is an included angle between OS̅̅̅̅and ON.
̅̅̅̅̅
∠N is an included angle between NS and ̅̅̅̅̅
̅̅̅̅ NO.
SO is an included side between ∠S and ∠O.
̅̅̅̅
̅̅̅̅ is an included side between ∠O and ∠N.
ON
SN is an included side between ∠S and ∠N.

TRIANGLE CONGRUENCE POSTULATES & THEOREM

1. Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence Postulate

If the three sides of one triangle are congruent to the three sides
of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

If ̅̅̅̅̅ XY , ̅̅̅̅
AB ≅ ̅̅̅̅ XZ and ̅̅̅̅
AC ≅ ̅̅̅̅ BC ≅ ̅̅̅̅
YZ,

then ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶 ≅ ∆𝑋𝑌𝑍.

 2. Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Congruence Postulate
If two sides and an included angle of one triangle are congruent
to the corresponding two sides and the included angle of another
triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

If ̅̅̅̅ XZ , ∠A ≅ ∠X and ̅̅̅̅̅

AC ≅ ̅̅̅̅ AB ≅ ̅̅̅̅
XY,

then ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶 ≅ ∆𝑋𝑌𝑍.

3. Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Congruence Postulate

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

If ∠C ≅ ∠Z and ̅̅̅̅ ̅̅̅ and ∠A ≅ ∠X,

AC ≅ ̅XZ

then ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶 ≅ ∆𝑋𝑌𝑍.

4. Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) Congruence Theorem

If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are
congruent to the corresponding two angles and a non-included side of
another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

If ∠A ≅ ∠X, ∠C ≅ ∠Z and ̅̅̅̅̅ ̅̅̅̅

AB ≅ XY,

then ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶 ≅ ∆𝑋𝑌𝑍.
