Directions: Construct pairs of congruent triangles which illustrates SAS, ASA and SSS Congruence Postulates based on the following measures of angles and length of sides. Then color your triangles afterwards
1. SSS - 3 inches - 4-inches - 5 inches
2. SAS - 5 inches - 50°- 7 inches
3. ASA - 60°- 8 inches -90°
Process Questions:
1. How do you construct congruent triangies?
2. What are the things you must consider in constructing congruent triangles?
3. What are the difficulties you encountered as you construct the triangles?
4. What strategy could you share to easily construct congruent triangles given the measure of angles and the length of sides?
Answers & Comments
Answer:
1.Congruent triangles can be constructed by using the theorem that all three sides are equal.(SSS theorem)
2.The relationship between the side length and angle of congruent triangles should be considered.
Sorry I can't answer no. 3 & 4... but for 1 & 2 hope it helps (:
