Using More Than One Congruent Triangle In A Proof

Today, we learned about using more than one pair of congruent triangles in a proof. It’s really simple and just added steps to normal proofs. You can use SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, HL and CPCTC to help through the proof.

Some tips for proofs:

· Remember key steps

· ALWAYS write in 2 column form unless told otherwise

· Make sure your reasons are correct

· Stay neat with proof

· Draw diagrams

· The given is ALWAYS first, the book is wrong, and the point to prove is always lastToday, we learned about using more than one pair of congruent triangles in a proof. It’s really simple and just added steps to normal proofs. You can use SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, HL and CPCTC to help through the proof.
