Remember
• Two triangles are congruent if and only if
their vertices can be paired so that the
corresponding sides are congruent and
corresponding angles are congruent.

• Corresponding parts of congruent triangles

are congruent. (CPCTC)

 INCLUDED SIDE
An included side is the common side of two
consecutive angles in a polygon. The following
postulate uses the idea of an included side.

PQ is the included side of

∠𝑃 and ∠𝑄.
