SSS and SAS

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Why use six corresponding parts when three will suffice? The second of five lessons in the Geometry - Triangle Congruence unit focuses on the SSS and SAS triangle congruence criteria. By watching a video, scholars learn how to identify when SSS and SAS apply and how to use them in congruence proofs. They also see why AAA does not prove congruence.
