6. Proving Triangle Congruence by ASA and AAS

Exercise 9 Page 630

Start by drawing two triangles and then add the given information to your diagram.

Yes, we can prove △ ABC ≅ △ DEF.
Explanation: See solution.

Practice makes perfect

Let's draw â–³ ABC and â–³ DEF.

Next, we will mark the two pairs of congruent angles, ∠ A≅ ∠ D and ∠ C ≅ ∠ F, and the congruent sides, AC≅ DF, in our diagram.

Since we know two pairs of angles and the pair of included sides are congruent, we can prove that the triangles are congruent by the ASA Congruence Theorem.
