Proving Triangles Congruent

SSS - SideSideSide SAS - SideAngleSide ASA - AngleSideAngle

If 3 sides in one triangle are
congruent to 3 sides of a
second triangle, then the
triangles are congruent.
If two sides and the included
angle of one triangle are
congruent to the corresponding
parts of another triangle, the
triangles are congruent.
If two angles and included side
of one triangle are congruent to
the corresponding parts of
another triangle, the triangles
are congruent.

AAS - AngleAngleSide HL - HL HypLeg (CPCTC) Corresponding

If two angles and the non-
included side of one triangle are
congruent to the corresponding
parts of another triangle, the
triangles are congruent.
If the hypotenuse and leg of one parts of congruent triangles are
right triangle are congruent to congruent.
the corresponding parts of
another right triangle, the right
triangles are congruent

Isosceles Triangles Theorems

• If two sides of a triangle are congruent, the angles opposite these sides are congruent.

• If two angles of a triangle are congruent, the sides opposite these angles are congruent.

• The median from the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle bisects the vertex angle.

• The median from the vertex angle of an isosceles is perpendicular to the base.
