Exam #4: Congruent Triangles

I.

Name the postulate or theorem. (10 pts.)

1. If two sides and the include angle of one triangle are
congruent to two sides and the include angle of another
triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
2. If the hypotenuse and a leg of one right triangle are
congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right
triangle are congruent.
3. If the three sides of one triangle are congruent to the
three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are
congruent.
4. If two angles and a noninclude side of one triangle are
congruent to two angles and the corresponding
noninclude side of another triangle, then the triangles
are congruent.
5. If two angles and the include side of one triangle are
congruent to two angles and the include side of another
triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
