4.2 Triangle Congruence: SSS and SAS
Determine which postulate can be used to prove that the triangles are congruent. If it is not possible to prove congruence, write not possible.
1. 2. 3. 4.
5. 6. 7. 8.
Find the value of the variable that yields congruent triangles. Explain.
9. ∆ WXY ≅ ∆ WXZ 10. ∆ ABC ≅∆ FGH
Determine whether ∆ MNO ≅∆ QRS. Explain.

15. Refer to the graph shown. a) Describe two methods you could use to prove that ∆ WYZ ≅ ∆WYX . You may not use a ruler or protractor. Which method do you think is more efficient? Explain.
b) Are ∆ WYZ and ∆ WYX congruent? Explain your reasoning.
16. Determine whether the following statement is true or false. 17. Bonnie says that ∆ PRQ≅ ∆ XYZ by SAS. Shada disagrees. Explain your reasoning. She says that there is not enough information to prove that the
two triangles are congruent. Is wither of them correct?
If the congruent sides in one isosceles triangle have the same Explain. measure as the congruent sides in another isosceles triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
