 SSS (Side-Side-Side)
Congruence Postulate
If three sides of one
triangle are congruent to
the corresponding three
sides of another triangle,
then the triangles are
congruent.
AAS (Angle-Angle-Side)
Congruence Theorem
If two angles and the non-
included side of one triangle are
congruent respectively to the
two angles and the non-
included side of another
triangle, then the two triangles
are congruent.
VERTICAL REFLEXIVE
ANGLES PROPERTY
TWO-CLUMN PROOF
A two-column proof consists of a
list of statements, and the reasons
why those statements are true.
The statements are in the left
column and the reasons are in the
right column.
EXAMPLES

 LET’S RECALL!

If two angles and a

triangle are congruent
of statements, one triangle are
respectively to three
and the reasons? congruent to two
sides of another
angles and non-
triangle, then the two
included side of
triangles are
another triangle, then
congruent? Two-Column the two triangles are

SSS Proof congruent?
