Objectives
Define

and illustrate congruent triangles

State and illustrate the SAS, ASA and SSS
Congruence Postulates;
Apply the postulates and theorems on
triangle congruence to prove statements on
congruence, including right triangles; and
Apply triangle congruence to geometric
construction of perpendicular bisector and
angle bisector.

1. How will you relate the picture to

your ambition?
2. If you were an architect or an
engineer, what is your dream project?
3. What can you say about the long
bridge in the picture? How about the
tall building? (presence of congruent
triangles, its stability, uses of bridges
for economic progress,
4. Why are there triangles in the
structures? Are the triangles
congruent? When are two triangles
congruent?
5. Why are
bridges and buildings
www.mrsabaquita.weebly.com
stable?

that corresponding sides are
congruent and corresponding
angles are congruent.
