Blog #25 AAS= and ASA=

You only need to know a few things about a pair of triangles to determine congruence. For instance you can determine congruence using either AAS or ASA. AAS and ASA are rules that can help determine congruence. For AAS you need to have two pairs of congruent angles with a pair of congruent sides. Meanwhile ASA is a slight variation of that rule. The rule about the pairs of congruent angles and sides remain unscathed but you need to have the side in the middle. So that is basically what you need to to find triangle congruence.

Blog #26 Using Flowcharts

When you set up a flowchart you have to consider a lot of things when making it. One of said things is proving each letter of congruence. While for congruence conditions you merely have to state what the condition is and no more but in a flowchart you have to explain why each letter in the condition is true by using specific rules. While for some sides or angles you only need one statement by saying that it was given, other times it could have multiple conditions in order to prove one letter. Then by combining all the statements you can prove whether a triangle is congruent with its counterpart or not.

Blog #27 “Triangle Congruence Conditions”

There are lots of ways that you can determine triangle congruence. When you try and solve for triangle congruence there are methods you have to state that ensure that you have congruence. For instance, one of the said methods is the Reflexive Property. The Reflexive Property states that two shapes have one side together merged. This can prove that one side on both triangles are congruent to one another. However, there are a wide variety of these to choose from and depending on the shapes you may have to use a lot of them to show triangle congruence.

Blog #28″ Determining a Midpoint

Determining a midpoint is actually one of the easier things for me to do in mathematics. My method is pretty simple. Firstly take your two points on the graph. Nextly take the leftmost point out of the two and compare the distance that it takes to get from left to right. Then take that distance and divide it by two. After which add those numbers to the leftmost point you started with and you have your midpoint.
