While it may seem incredibly obvious to the geometry student that congruent sides make congruent triangles, the proving of this by definition actually takes a bit of work. This exercise steps the class through this kind of proof by...

Your learners will make good use of the Socratic method in a collaborative task that begins with an assumed solution and ends with deeper understanding of the idea of determining two triangles congruent.

Your geometry learners explore Angle-Side-Angle congruence in this collaborative task. The sum of the interior angles of all triangles being one hundred eighty degrees, is the key learners will discover as they explain their reasoning...

Proving triangles are similar is often an exercise in applying one of the many theorems young geometers memorize, like the AA similarity criteria. But proving that the criteria themselves are valid from basic principles is a great...

This activity works with a PowerPoint presentation to have students answer questions as to what method a pair of triangles can be proven congruent: SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, HL.

As a resource for teachers, an activity of how to connect Venn Diagrams with the five methods of proving triangles congruent - SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, HL - is explained.

Here are four problems to solve using the Law of Cosines. Two are SSS problems; two are SAS problems. Two have detailed solutions; two have answers given only. Notice the link at the bottom that takes you to a Law of Cosines calculator -...

Find guidelines to help you "solve" triangles, which means finding the value of missing sides and angles. Provided are examples of six scenarios in which you can solve a triangle's missing measurements, as well as relevant equations,...
