Week 10: Congruent Triangles - Part I

We started a whole new concept with congruent angles, but that was just the beginning. There are many different properties and forms of congruency when it comes to triangles, as I'm sure you have realized in class this week. Do not worry though, because we will be covering more properties of congruent triangles next week, so you will have time then to ask any questions regarding this topic. In case you are struggling with what we covered in class this week, use this page to review the basics of congruency with triangles and go through the proofs on this website to practice solving congruency problems.

For this week's extra credit, I want you to tell me: how many sets of congruent triangles there are (in the picture below), what those triangles are named (make sure they are appropriately listed when making congruent statements), and why they are congruent.

Keep in mind that I created this image from scratch, so if you have any questions or feeling stuck, then let me know! I guarantee I will be able to help (within reason, so do not expect me to give you the answers).


This week's goal:

• Connect properties of congruent angles to properties of congruent triangles.
• Be able to break down a figure that contains multiple congruent triangles.

Due dates:

• The list of congruent triangles and the proofs associated with each one will be due on the day of the test, which will be in two weeks.
