Exercise 40 Page 351

What do you know about the third angles?

True, see solution

Practice makes perfect
The Third Angles Theorem states the following. If two angles of a triangle are congruent to two angles of a second triangle, then the third angles are also congruent. Let's also recall the definition of triangle congruence.

Two triangles are congruent if and only if all corresponding angles and sides are congruent. Let's put these together to prove the statement in the question. Given:& Two pairs of corresponding congruent angles and & Three pairs of corresponding congruent sides Prove:& the two triangles are congruent Proof:
