Page 1: Introduction to Triangle Congruence Proofs

This page introduces the fundamental concepts of triangle congruence proofs, focusing on the various methods used to prove triangles congruent.

Definition: Triangle congruence refers to the equality of two triangles in all aspects, including their sides and angles.

The page outlines five main ways to prove triangles congruent:

  1. SSS SideSideSideSide-Side-Side
  2. SAS SideAngleSideSide-Angle-Side
  3. ASA AngleSideAngleAngle-Side-Angle
  4. AAS AngleAngleSideAngle-Angle-Side
  5. HL HypotenuseLegHypotenuse-Leg

Highlight: The SSS, SAS, ASA, and AAS methods are the most commonly used in triangle congruence proofs.

The guide also introduces reasons for congruent sides and angles, including:

  • Given information
  • Vertical angles
  • Alternate interior angles
  • Corresponding angles
  • Definition of midpoint
  • Definition of angle bisector
  • Reflexive property

Vocabulary: CPCTC CorrespondingPartsofCongruentTrianglesareCongruentCorresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent is introduced as a key concept in triangle congruence proofs.

This comprehensive introduction sets the foundation for understanding and applying triangle congruence theorems in various geometric scenarios.

Page 2: ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Congruence Theorem

This page delves into the ASA AngleSideAngleAngle-Side-Angle congruence theorem, providing a detailed explanation and examples of its application in triangle congruence proofs.

Definition: The ASA congruence theorem states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

The page emphasizes the importance of the "included" side, which means the side between the two given angles.

Two detailed examples are provided to illustrate the application of the ASA theorem:

  1. A proof involving angle bisectors
  2. A proof using parallel lines and alternate interior angles

Example: In the first proof, the given information states that SQ bisects ∠ROT and ∠RST. The proof demonstrates how to use this information along with the reflexive property to establish triangle congruence using ASA.

Highlight: The second example introduces the concept of alternate interior angles in the context of parallel lines, showcasing how this property can be used in conjunction with ASA to prove triangle congruence.

Each example includes a step-by-step breakdown of the proof, listing statements and reasons for each step. This structured approach helps students understand the logical progression of a triangle congruence proof using the ASA theorem.

Page 3: AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) Congruence Theorem

This page focuses on the AAS AngleAngleSideAngle-Angle-Side congruence theorem, providing a comprehensive explanation and examples of its application in triangle congruence proofs.

Definition: The AAS congruence theorem states that if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and a non-included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

The page emphasizes the distinction between AAS and ASA, highlighting that in AAS, the given side is not between the two given angles but opposite to one of them.

Two detailed examples are presented to demonstrate the application of the AAS theorem:

  1. A proof involving an angle bisector and a given congruent angle
  2. A proof using parallel lines, corresponding angles, and a midpoint

Example: In the first proof, YZ bisects ∠WYX, and ∠YWZ ≅ ∠YXZ. The proof shows how to use this information along with the definition of an angle bisector to establish triangle congruence using AAS.

Highlight: The second example introduces the concepts of corresponding angles and midpoints in the context of parallel lines, demonstrating how these properties can be used in conjunction with AAS to prove triangle congruence.

Each example includes a step-by-step breakdown of the proof, listing statements and reasons for each step. This structured approach helps students understand the logical progression of a triangle congruence proof using the AAS theorem.

The page also includes a visual representation of the AAS theorem, clearly showing the relationship between the congruent angles and side in two triangles.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Android user

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Brad T

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

David K

iOS user

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀

THE QUIZES AND FLASHCARDS ARE SO USEFUL AND I LOVE THE SCHOOLGPT. IT ALSO IS LITREALLY LIKE CHATGPT BUT SMARTER!! HELPED ME WITH MY MASCARA PROBLEMS TOO!! AS WELL AS MY REAL SUBJECTS ! DUHHH 😍😁😲🤑💗✨🎀😮

This app is phenomenal down to the correct info and the various topics you can study! I greatly recommend it for people who struggle with procrastination and those who need homework help. It has been perfectly accurate for world 1 history as far as I’ve seen! Geometry too!
