Outcomes

G.TR.2

The student will, given information in the form of a figure or statement, prove and justify two triangles are congruent using direct and indirect proofs, and solve problems involving measured attributes of congruent triangles.

G.TR.2a

Use definitions, postulates, and theorems (including Side-Side-Side (SSS); Side-Angle-Side (SAS); Angle-Side-Angle (ASA); Angle-Angle-Side (AAS); and Hypotenuse-Leg (HL)) to prove and justify two triangles are congruent.

G.TR.2b

Use algebraic methods to prove that two triangles are congruent.

G.TR.2d

Given a triangle, use congruent segment, congruent angle, and/or perpendicular line constructions to create a congruent triangle (SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, and HL).
