 Let Us Learn

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help
you master the nature of Geometry. The scope of this module permits it to be used
in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the diverse
vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard
sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to
correspond with the textbook you are now using.

The module is composed of two lessons:

Lesson 1 – Proves Statements on Triangle Congruence (M8GE-IIIh-1)
Lesson 2 – Applies Triangle Congruence to Construct Perpendicular Lines and
Angle Bisectors (M8GE-IIIi-j-1)

After going through this module, you are expected to:

A. prove statements on triangle congruence;

B. construct perpendicular lines applying triangle congruence;
C. construct angle bisector using drawing compass, ruler/straightedge; and
D. relate the topic in real life situations.

Lesson
Proving Statements on
1 Triangle Congruence

Let Us Try

Refer to the triangles above.

1
 A. Name the three corresponding congruent sides:
_______ ______, ______ _______, ______ _______.

B. Can you name the two congruent triangles? _________ ___________.

C. Prove that these triangles are congruent. _________________________

Since you have already understood the process of proving the congruence of
two triangles and proven the statements of triangle congruence, you are now ready
for our next activity.

Let Us Study
The Side-Side-Side or SSS Postulate’s focus is only on the corresponding
congruent sides of triangles and is not really concern with angles in determining
whether or not two triangles are congruent.

It can be concluded from the illustration that ∆𝐽𝐸𝐹 ≅ ∆𝐶𝐴𝐷 because all three
corresponding sides of the triangles are congruent.
Let us try to work through a two-column proof that requires the use of the
SSS Postulate.

Example 1.
,,,,, ≅ ,,,
Given: 𝐻𝐾 𝐽𝐾
I is the midpoint of ,𝐻𝐽
,,,

Prove: ∆𝐻𝐼𝐾 ≅ ∆𝐽𝐼𝐾

Solution:
Proof:
Statements Reasons
1. ,,,,
𝐻𝐾 ≅ ,,,

2. I is the midpoint of ,𝐻𝐽
,,, 2. Given
3. ,,, ,,,
𝐾𝐼 ≅ 𝐾𝐼 3. Reflexive Property
,,,,
4. 𝐻𝐼 ≅ 𝐽𝐼/ 4. Definition of midpoint
5. ∆𝐻𝐼𝐾 ≅ ∆𝐽𝐼𝐾 5. SSS Postulate

2
Hence, the illustration now becomes,

On the other hand, the Side-Angle-Side or SAS Postulate now involves an

angle; however, it cannot be used if the angles that are congruent are not formed by
the congruent sides of the triangle. The angle must be formed by the two pairs of
congruent, corresponding sides of the triangles for us to make use of this postulate.

From the illustration above, we therefore say that ∆𝐽𝐸𝐹 ≅ ∆𝐶𝐴𝐷 by the SAS
Postulate because the two sides and the included angle of the triangle are congruent.
Let’s use the SAS Postulate in a two-column proof in this example.

Example 2.

,,,, ≅ ,,,,
Given: 𝐿𝑁 𝑃𝑁
,,,,,
𝑀𝑁 ≅ ,,,, 𝑂𝑁
Prove:

Solution:
Proof:

1. ,,,, ,,,,
𝐿𝑁 ≅ 𝑃𝑁 1. Given

𝑀𝑁 ≅ ,,,,
𝑂𝑁 2. Given
3. ∠LNM≅ ∠𝑃𝑁𝑂 3. Vertical Angles Theorem
4. ∆𝐿𝑀𝑁 ≅ ∆𝑃𝑂𝑁 4. SAS Postulate

Thus, the illustration now becomes,

3
 The next postulate, Angle-Side-Angle or ASA is basically the opposite of the
SAS Postulate as the terms suggest. In ASA, the one included in the two angles is
the side, while it is the angle which is included in the two sides with the SAS. The
ASA Postulate requires two angles and the included side to be congruent.

Hence, ∆𝐽𝐸𝐹 ≅ ∆𝐶𝐴𝐷 by the ASA Postulate because the two angles and
included side of the triangle are congruent.

Let’s use ASA Postulate in a two-column proof to prove congruence between

two triangles.

Example 3.

Given: ,,,,, ,,,,

WX YZ
∠WYX ∠ZXY
Prove: ∆WXY ≅ ∆ZYX

Solution:
Proof:
Statements Reasons
1. ,,,,, ,,,,
𝑊𝑋 ≅ 𝑌𝑍 1. Given
2. ∠WYX ∠ZXY 2. Given
3. 3. Alternate Interior Angles are Congruent
4. 4. Reflexive Property
5. ∆WXY ≅ ∆ZYX 5. ASA Postulate

And so, the illustration now becomes,

A derivation of the three postulates discussed above is the Angle-Angle-Side

(AAS) or Side-Angle-Angle (SAA) Theorem makes use also of two angles and a side

4
to prove its claim. To be able to use this theorem, it should be noted that the
congruent sides must not be included between the two pairs of congruent angles.

Thus, ∆𝐽𝐸𝐹 ≅ ∆𝐶𝐴𝐷 by the AAS Theorem since we have two pairs of
congruent angles and one pair of congruent sides not included between the angles.

In the next example, let’s try to use the AAS Theorem in the two-column
proof.
Example 4.
Given: ∠TAM ∠THM

Prove:

Solution:
Proof:

1. ∠TAM ≅ ∠THM 1. Given

,,,,, ≅ ,,,,,
4. 𝑀𝑇 𝑀𝑇 4. Reflexive Property
5. ∆𝐴𝑇𝑀 ≅ ∆𝐻𝑇𝑀 5. AAS Postulate
Therefore, the illustration now becomes,

Other definitions and theorems to consider that are also used in proving
triangle congruence statements in this section include:

1. Isosceles Triangle Theorem: If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then

the angles opposite these sides are congruent.
2. If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite them are
congruent.

5
 3. An equilateral triangle is also congruent.
4. An equiangular triangle is also equilateral.
5. CPCTC: Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent.
6. Both equality and congruence are reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.
7. A triangle is isosceles if and only if at least two of its sides are congruent.
8. If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite these sides
are congruent.

ISOSCELES TRIANGLE

Let us have more of proving triangle congruence statements this time using
the postulates and theorems you have just learned.

Example 5.

Given:
W is the midpoint of ,,,
𝐼𝑂 and ,,,,
𝑁𝑇
Prove: ∆𝑊𝐼𝑇 ≅ ∆𝑊𝑂𝑁

You can see from the figure that and . For the SAS Postulate
to be used, the included angles should be congruent, and you know that they
are congruent because the angles are vertical. Thus, ∆𝑊𝐼𝑇 ≅ ∆𝑊𝑂𝑁. Here is the
formal t-column proof on this.

 Lesson Apply Triangle Congruence
2 to Construct Perpendicular
Lines and Angle Bisectors

Let Us Try

Now, let us have a quick practice on the use of the instruments you have
prepared.

Activity 1: “Draw Me”

1. Using a compass, draw a circle with a radius of 2 cm.
inside the box at the right.
2. Using a ruler, divide the circle into two semicircles.
3. Divide one of the semicircles into two, make sure that
the two parts are equal, each should have a 90º angle.
2 cm

Hint: Start by drawing a 2 cm line segment, then position the tip of the compass at one
of its ends (marked as the center of the circle) and the tip of the pencil at the other end.

Now you have done the activity perfectly using these instruments.

Let Us Study

In the previous lesson, you have learned how to prove that two triangles are
congruent and you were able to prove statements on triangle congruence. This time,
you are expected to apply triangle congruence to construct perpendicular lines and
construct angle bisectors.

For you to do this, you need to prepare the following materials:

a drawing compass, protractor, pencil and a ruler/straightedge.

10
"Construction" in Geometry means to draw shapes, angles or lines accurately.

These constructions use only compass, straightedge (i.e. ruler) and a pencil.
(https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/constructions.html)

A. Constructing a perpendicular bisector of given line segment.

Constructing a perpendicular bisector is similar to constructing an angle bis

ector because both involve dividing the object into two equal parts.

When constructing both a perpendicular bisector and an angle bisector, the

tip of the compass is placed at the end of the line to make arcs of equal radius.
,,,, ):
Given: Bisect line segment XY (𝑋𝑌

X Y

Step 1. With compass set to

more than half the length,
draw an arc with center X.

Step 2. With the same

compass setting, draw
another arc with
center Y. Make sure
that the two arcs meet
at two points.

Step 3. Join the intersection

points of the arcs with
a ruler/straightedge.
This line bisects the
original segment.

11
 Perpendicular Bisector
A perpendicular bisector of a segment is a line, a segment or a ray that
is perpendicular to the segment at its midpoint.
Now, following the given steps, we will construct a perpendicular bisector of
,,,,) in a detailed way following the figures presented below.
line segment DE (𝐷𝐸
(Guide: the diagonal line represents the opening of the compass and the curve line
represents the tip (pencil) of the compass)

perpendicular bisector of line segment DE

(See figure 9)

Figure 10 L

Now observe figure 10,

∠𝐿𝑂𝐷 and ∠𝐿𝑂𝐸

form a linear pair
O
𝑚∠𝐿𝑂𝐷 = 𝑚∠𝐿𝑂𝐸 D E
𝑚∠𝐿𝑂𝐷 + 𝑚∠𝐿𝑂𝐸 = 180º
2𝑚∠𝐿𝑂𝐷 = 180º
𝑚∠𝐿𝑂𝐷 = 90º V

∠𝐿𝑂𝐷 and ∠𝐿𝑂𝐸 are right angles.

0000 ⊥ 0000
Therefore, 𝐿𝑉 𝐷𝐸

𝐿𝑉 is the Perpendicular bisector of ⃖3333⃗

Therefore, 0000 𝐷𝐸

B. Constructing the angle bisector of a given angle.

14
 Angle Bisector
An angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle into two congruent
angles or two angles that have the same measure.
