Maths Grade 9 - Lesson Note

This document contains notes from a 9th grade mathematics lesson on congruency theorems. It provides examples of applying the Side-Side-Side (SSS), Side-Angle-Side (SAS), Angle-Side-Angle (ASA), and Right-Angle-Hypotenuse-Side (RHS) congruency theorems to triangles. For each theorem, it gives a proof that the triangles are congruent, but then notes that the triangles are actually not congruent because the corresponding sides are not equal. The homework is to copy the notes into an exercise book.

C 3RD QUARTER MATHEMATICS LESSON NOTE FOR GRADE 9

 Dear students: - Copy the note and do the given homework on your exercise book!
Subject: _Mathematics Grade & section 9(A –F)
Unit: 5
Main topic: Measurement and Geometry
Sub topic/s: Further on congruency
Page range from: 190 to 194

……..Continued note
SSS(side side side) congruency theorem
Remark: where ∆ is used to mean “triangle”
Where ≡ is used to mean “congruent to”
Consider ∆ABC and ∆DEF
Prove that ∆ABC and ∆DEF are congruent
A D

B C E F
4cm 2cm
Proof 1. AB ≡ DE (given)
2. AC ≡ DE (given)
3. BC ≡ DF (given)
4. ∆ABC ≡ ∆EFD (SSS congruency theorem)
But ∆ABC is not congruent to ∆DEF because the corresponding sides
 AB is not congruent to DE
 BC is not congruent to EF
 AC is not congruent to DF
If you try to overlap ∆ABC and ∆DEF one doesn’t coincide with the other.

1. SAS (side angle side)congruency theorem


Consider ∆ABC and ∆DEF

Prove that ∆ABC and ∆DEF are congruent.
Proof: 1. AB ≡ DF (given)
2. AC ≡ FE (given)

 AB is not congruent to EF
 BC is not congruent to FD
 AC is not congruent to ED
If you try to overlap ∆ABC and ∆EFD one doesn’t coincide with the other.

4. ∆BAC ≡ ∆EDF (RHC congruency theorem)
But ∆ABC is not congruent to ∆EFD because the corresponding sides
 AB is not congruent to EF
 BC is not congruent to FD
 AC is not congruent to ED
If you try to overlap ∆ABC and ∆EFD one doesn’t coincide with the other.
