B. Motivation

I have here two triangles which is ∆ BLE

and ∆OPQ. I want you to compare the
two triangles given.

L P

15cm 15cm

90° 90°
B E O Q
10cm 10cm
Now, what is the measurement of ̅̅̅̅
𝐵𝐿 and ̅̅̅̅
𝐵𝐿 is 15cm
̅̅̅̅?
𝑂𝑃 ̅̅̅̅ is 15cm
while 𝑂𝑃

What can you say about the

measurement of ̅̅̅̅
𝐵𝐿and ̅̅̅̅
𝐵𝐿? They are both 15cm as measurement.

Very good!

How about ̅̅̅̅ ̅̅̅̅ ? What are their

𝐵𝐸 and 𝑂𝑄 𝐵𝐸 ̅̅̅̅ have the same measure
̅̅̅̅ and 𝑂𝑄
measurements? which is 10cm.

Very good!

As you noticed the given example they

have also the same angle which is 90°

So, what can you say about the

measured sides and angles of the The two triangles have two congruent
triangles? sides and one congruent angle sir.

Very good!

C. Lesson Proper

So, for today we will discuss about Side -

Angle – Side Congruence Postulate.

Let us define first the SAS Congruence

Postulate

What is SAS Congruence Postulate? - SAS Congruence Postulate or Side

angle side postulate means if two sides
and an included angle of one triangle are
congruent to the corresponding two sides
and an included angle of another triangle,
then the triangles are congruent.

Thank you!

Let me give you an example,

G N

H T S Y

There are two triangles given namely

∆GHT and ∆NSY and given are their
congruent sides and angle, identified by
the markings.

̅̅̅̅
𝐻𝐺 ≅ ̅̅̅̅
𝑆𝑁
∠H ≅ ∠S
𝐻𝑇 ≅ ̅𝑆𝑌
̅̅̅̅ ̅̅̅
So we have two sides and one angle that
are congruent.

Before we proceed, what can you say The angle that is congruent is between
about the placement of the congruent the 2 congruent sides.
angle?

Very good, this is what we called included

angle.

So, what is an included angle? An included angle is the angle between

two sides of a triangle. It can be any
angle of the triangle, depending on its
purpose.

So going back to the definition of SAS,

we can now say that these two triangles
are congruent since

̅̅̅̅
𝐻𝐺 ≅ ̅̅̅̅
𝑆𝑁 S
∠H ≅ ∠S A
𝐻𝑇 ≅ ̅𝑆𝑌
̅̅̅̅ ̅̅̅ S

Therefore, we conclude that ∆ GHT ≅

∆ NSY using SAS congruence postulate
which is their two sides and an included
angle are congruent.

Any questions? None sir!

Another example

From this figure, let us see if ∆ABC is ≅

∆DCB.

Let us first identify the congruent parts.

A C

B D

̅̅̅̅
𝐴𝐵 ≅ ̅̅̅̅
𝐷𝐶 1st congruent side
∠B ≅ ∠C congruent angle
̅̅̅̅ ≅ 𝐶𝐵
𝐵𝐶 ̅̅̅̅ nd
2 congruent side

So we have 2 sides and an included

angle that are congruent.
Therefore, by SAS congruence postulate
∆ ABC ≅ ∆ DCB

Let’s try this one

Who can answer it on the board?

Determine whether the following triangles

are congruent using SAS congruence
postulate.

G
N ̅̅̅̅
𝑇𝐺 ≅ ̅𝑌𝑆
̅̅̅
∠G ≅ ∠S
̅̅̅̅
𝐻𝐺 ≅ ̅̅̅̅
𝑁𝑆
Therefore, by SAS congruence postulate
Y ∆ HGT ≅ ∆ SNY
T
H
S

Remember class that SAS stands for

Side – Included angle – side congruence.

Next is on how to prove two triangles are

congruent under the SAS congruence
postulate.

Let us recall first the definition of

perpendicular bisector. What is
perpendicular bisector?
- A perpendicular bisector can
be defined as a line that intersects
another line segment perpendicularly and
divides it into two parts of equal
measurement

With that definition, what can you say

𝑨𝑫 ≅ ̅̅̅̅
about ̅̅̅̅ 𝑪𝑫 ?

𝑨𝑫 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ̅̅̅̅
So we can say, that ̅̅̅̅ 𝑪𝑫 have the
same measurement or equal.

Generalization

What is SAS Congruence Postulate? - SAS Congruence Postulate or Side

angle side postulate means if two sides
and an included angle of one triangle are
congruent to the corresponding two sides
and an included angle of another triangle,
then the triangles are congruent.

What’s the meaning of Included angle?
I hope class you learned something from
our discussion.
- An included angle is the angle between
two sides of a triangle. It can be any
angle of the triangle, depending on its
purpose.
