    SSS Congruence Postulate

    Uploaded by

    Joel Bulawan
    The document discusses triangle congruence under the Side-Side-Side (SSS) postulate. It provides two examples of using SSS to show that two triangles are congruent based on having three corresponding congruent sides. It then gives practice problems for students to determine which triangles are congruent based on given side congruencies and to complete proof statements using SSS.

    -SSS Congruence Postulate or
    Side side side postulate
    means if all three sides of a
    triangle are congruent to
    corresponding three sides of
    other triangle then the two
    triangles are congruent.

    = 15cm = 20cm

    = 15cm = 20cm

    Therefore   Therefore  

    = 10cm

    = 10cm

    Therefore

    • Therefore, we conclude that HGT ≅ SNY using SSS congruence postulate


    which is their three sides are congruent.
