side-angle-side postulate,
we must be able to identify
the appropriate sides and

and Practicing New Skills
Now that you have already an in depth understanding regarding Triangle
Congruence Postulate, let us now proceed with our new lesson, proving two
congruent triangles.
DRILL
Activity: You be the Judge! Decide whether enough information is given to show
that the triangles are congruent. If so, tell which congruence postulate you would
use.
In previous lesson, we showed how triangles are congruent according to the
definition of congruent triangles. However, there are ways to know whether or not
two triangles are congruent with less information than all 6 pairs of corresponding
parts. When working with 3 measurements (angles, or sides or a combination of
the two), there are 4 possible arrangements:
SIDE-SIDE-SIDE ANGLE-ANGLE-SIDE
Congruence Postulate Congruence Postulate
SIDE-ANGLE-SIDE ANGLE-SIDE-ANGLE
Congruence Postulate Congruence Postulate
Example: Use the SAS Congruence Postulate
a.
Solution:
a. From the diagram, we that AB ≅ CB∧DB ≅ DB .
The angle included between AB∧DB is ∠ ABD
The angle included between CB∧DB is ∠CBD
Because the included angles are congruent, we can use the SAS
Congruence Postulate to conclude that ∆ ABD ≅ ∆ CBD .
b. We know that GF ≅ GH ∧¿ ≅ ¿. However, the congruent angles are not
included between the congruent sides, so we cannot use the SAS
Congruence Postulate.
In this lesson we are going to use SAS congruence postulate in proving two
congruent triangles.
Writing Proofs: A proof is a convincing argument that shows why a statement is
true. A two-column proof has numbered statements and reasons that show the
logical order of the argument. Each statement has a reason listed to its right.
Steps in Proving Congruence of Two Triangles
 Identify what the given are, and what is to be proved. Marked the given
information on the diagram.
  Identify the congruence theorem to be used and the additional information
and why
 Write down the statements and the reason in a two-column proof. Make
the last statement contains what should be proved.

Now, let us apply the congruence postulates and theorems in proving congruent
triangles using the illustrative examples below.

Example 1: Q

Base on the figure below, given that

QP bisects ∠ RQS , QR ≅ QSprove that
∆ RQP ≅ ∆ SQP

P
R S

Step 1: Identify what the given are, and what is to be proved.

Given: QP bisects ∠ RQS ; QR ≅ QS

Prove: ∆ RQP ≅ ∆ SQP

Step 2: Identify the congruence theorem to be used and the additional information
and why.

QP bisects ∠ RQS , QP is the angle bisector , so the angle ∠RQP ≅ ∠ SQP are
congruent by Definition of Angle Bisector. Then, QP is the common side of
∆ RQP∧∆ SQP , so by reflexive property of congruence , hence SAS
congruence postulate can be used to prove ∆ RQP ≅ ∆ SQP

Step 3: Write down the statements and the reason in a two-column proof. Make
the last statement contains what should be proved.

Two-column proof:
Statements Reasons
1. QR ≅ QS Given
2. QP bisects ∠ RQS Given
3. ∠ RQP ≅ ∠ SQP Definition of angle bisector
4. QP ≅ Q P Reflexive Property of Congruence
5. ∆ RQP ≅ ∆ SQP SAS Congruence Postulate

We were able to show the congruence of the two triangles using SAS congruence
postulate.

Example 2: Study the figure at the right

B
Given: AD bisects ∠ CAB ; AC ≅ AB
Prove: ∆ CAD ≅ ∆ BAD A D

Proof: C
Statements Reasons
1. AD bisects ∠ CAB Given
2. AC ≅ AB Given
3. ∠ CAD ≅ ∠ BAD Definition of Angle Bisector
4. AD ≅ AD Reflexive Property of Congruence
5. ∆ CAD ≅ ∆ BAD SAS Congruence Postulate

We were able to show the congruence of the two triangles using SAS congruence
postulate.
