I. Title: Proving Congruence of Triangles using SSS and AAS

II. Learning Competency: Proves two triangles are congruent. (Code: M8GE-IIIg-1)

III. Learning Objectives: Through this LAS, learners are expected to:
1.1. Prove two triangles are congruent using SSS and AAS Postulates; and
1.2. Apply triangle congruence in real life situation.

IV. Key Concepts

 SSS Postulate: If the three sides of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding three
sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Y
If SI ≅ EY, SM ≅ LE and MI ≅ LY, then
ΔSIM ≅ ΔLYE by SSS Postulate.

 AAS Postulate: If two angles and the side opposite one of the angles in one triangle are
congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are
congruent.

If ∠I ≅ ∠Y, ∠M ≅ ∠L and SI ≅ LY, then

ΔSIM ≅ ΔLYE by AAS Postulate.
Y

For examples 1-3, Are the two triangles congruent? If so, state the postulate/theorem
used.

 Example 1. Example 2. Example 3

Yes, AAS Theorem Yes, SSS Theorem No, Insufficient markings

  Example 4. Given: ∠AER ≅ ∠ANR, RA bisects ∠ERN
Prove: ΔEAR ≅ ΔNAR

Solution: Proof
Statement Reason
1. ∠AER ≅ ∠ANR 1. Given
2. RA bisects ∠ERN 2. Given

3. ∠ARE ≅ ∠ARN 3. Definition of Angle bisector

4. RA ≅ RA 4. Reflexive Property
5. ΔEAR ≅ ΔNAR 5. AAS Postulate

 Example 5. Given: AR ≅ DR, AC ≅ DC

Prove: ΔACR ≅ ΔDCR:

Solution: Proof
Statement Reason
1. AR ≅ DR, AC ≅ DC 1. Given
2. CR ≅ CR 2. Reflexive Property

3. ΔACR ≅ ΔDCR 3. SSS Postulate

V. Exercises / Activities

Activity 4. Reflection: (Journal Writing)

“Love is made up of three unconditional properties in equal measure: acceptance,

understanding and appreciation. Remove one of the three and the triangle falls apart.” Which, by
the way, is something highly unwise. Think about it – do you really want to live in a world of only
two dimensions?
-Vera Nazarian
