6.4

Page 2: Prove Triangles Similar by AA 6.4. Another Postulate All you need are any 2 congruent angles for 2 triangles to be congruent

Another Postulate

All you need are any 2 congruent angles for 2 triangles to be congruent

Page 3: Prove Triangles Similar by AA 6.4. Another Postulate All you need are any 2 congruent angles for 2 triangles to be congruent

Why only 2 angles?

• We know that the sum of the interior angles has to be 180.

• Therefore, the third angle also has to be congruent.
