Blog 25: AAS congruence and ASA congruence:

In this lesson we learned about two different triangle congruencies .We learned about AAS congruency and ASA congruency . These two types of congruency mean different things AAS congruency means Angle Angle Side , and the ASA congruency stands for Angle Side Angle . In order to find which kind of congruency the triangle is you need some information . The information that you need is the length of two angles and one side . ASA means that the two triangles have two equal angles and sides .AAS means that we have two triangles where we know two angles and the non-included side are equal.If two angles and the non-included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding angles and side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Blog 26: Using Flowcharts:

When trying to identify if a triangle is congruent you may use a flow chart. You do not need to use the same amount of ovals every time . You have to do it based on the triangles congruency and how many properties it has .There are many properties that you can use to find the congruency . Sometimes there is given information that you write inside the ovals to help you find the angles and sides . An example is from the triangle below .

Blog 27: Triangle Congruence Conditions:

There are 5 different triangle congruences . One of them is ASA congruency , also known as Angle Side Angle. Another one is AAS , Angle Side Angle. HL is another condition but this one is only for right triangles. SSS is Side , Side,Side congruency. The other one is SAS or Side Angle Side. Some thing else that I learned is that SSA , Side Side Angle and Angle Side Side are not congruent conditions. I also learned that 2 sides and an angle between them both triangles are always congruent.

Blog 28: Determining a Midpoint:

The midpoint is the half or the middle section of the shape.The method that I like to use the midpoint formula which is shown below. In this equation you have to use the coordinate points given to you . Lets say you are trying to find the midpoint of a line that goes through (1,2) and (3,6) . The first thing you have to do is plug it into the equation so then you would have 3+1 over 2 and 2+6 over 2. Now that you have this you start solving and you will have your midpoint .
