  3. SSS AND SASCONGRUENCE POSTULATES The SSS Congruence Postulate is a shortcut for provingtwo triangles are congruent without using all six pairsof corresponding parts.

  4. Using the SSS Congruence Postulate Prove that PQWTSW. The marks on the diagram show that PQTS, PWTW, andQWSW. SOLUTION Paragraph Proof So by the SSS Congruence Postulate, you know that PQW TSW.

  9. Congruent Triangles in a Coordinate Plane AC FH ABFG Use the SSS Congruence Postulate to show that ABCFGH. SOLUTION AC = 3 and FH= 3 AB = 5 and FG= 5

  10. Congruent Triangles in a Coordinate Plane d = (x2 – x1 )2+ (y2 – y1 )2 d = (x2 – x1 )2+ (y2 – y1 )2 BC = (–4 – (–7))2+ (5– 0)2 GH = (6 – 1)2+ (5– 2)2 = 32+ 52 = 52+ 32 = 34 = 34 Use the distance formula to find lengths BC and GH.

  11. Congruent Triangles in a Coordinate Plane BCGH BC = 34 and GH= 34 All three pairs of corresponding sides are congruent, ABCFGH by the SSS Congruence Postulate.
