Congruent Triangle Proofs

Triangle proofs

By: Jacob Preis

Here is a reference sheet. make sure to take a picture of it!

Poll

Warm-up: What word appropriately goes into the box. (don't worry this is a poll so you won't be marked as wrong!)

• definition of midpoint

• SAS

• Given

• vertical angles are congruent

basic triangle proofs

• should be easy!

• Helps you know why the triangles are congruent.

• you can do the same thing with transversals(we are not doing that yet)

Poll

what do you think about triangle proofs so far?

• AWESOME!😎😎😎😎🐈🐈😉

• good.😐😐😐

• NOT GOOD AT ALL.😠😠😠😠😩😩😤

Multiple Choice

Identify the missing statement or reason. (this is just for practice to see if you remember this.)

• Reflexive Property

• Definition of Midpoint

• Given

• Vertical Angles Theorem

Open Ended

what do you recognize about reflexive property? (perhaps when we did reflections across the axis...)

Here are some examples od Statements there are!

here of some examples for the reasons

• Vertical Angles are congruent

• definition of bisector

• definition of perpendicular bisector

• definition of midpoint

Do you think you got this?

• YES😎😎
