If triangles are congruent , the corresponding sides and angles have to have the same measurements. The least amount of information we need to be sure they are congruent is that they need to meet at least one of the congruence conditions.
Blog #26 Using Flowcharts

People use flowcharts when trying to prove that two triangles are congruent. You put information in from triangles to prove that their measurements are congruent. You can tell that the two triangles are congruent if you have enough information. For example you can tell that triangle ABC is congruent triangle DEF because angle A and angle D are congruent, angle B and E are congruent, and side DF is congruent to side AC. You can also put more information by using other rules and theories. Once done with the chart you can say that triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF.

Blog #27 Triangle Congruence Conditions

There are fife different types of congruent conditions that can tell you whether or not two triangles are congruent. The congruence conditions are ASA,AAS,HL,SSS,and SAS. AAS and ASA are the normal conditions but SSS, SAS, and HL are different. SS (side, side,side) is when all the sides from both triangles are congruent lengths. HL (hypotenuse leg) only works with right triangles and its when they’re put together they make an isosceles triangle. This will mean that the corresponding sides and angles will be congruent. And lastly SAS (side,angle,side) is when theres a side,angle,and a side that is corresponding and congruent.

Blog #28 Determining Midpoints

A midpoint is actual middle point of a line. If a line is horizontal you can get the midpoint by dividing the entire distance by two. For example, a line from the point (6,4) to (10,4) has a distance of 4. If you divide it by 2 the distance is 2 so the midpoint is (8,4). On the other hand, if the line is diagonal. You have to make a slope triangle and then divide each of the units by two.
