6. Proving Triangle Congruence by ASA and AAS
Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 21 Page 631

We know that one pair of angles are congruent. Can we say anything about any other angles?

See solution.

Practice makes perfect

Let's illustrate two right triangles where we know that an angle and the hypotenuse of one triangle is congruent to an angle and the hypotenuse of the other.

Now we can write our paragraph proof:

By the Right Angles Congruence Theorem, the two triangles have congruent right angles. Because another pair of angles and a pair of corresponding non-included sides are congruent, the triangles are congruent by the AAS Congruence Theorem.
