4.4- SAS and HL

Today we talked about two more shortcuts to prove that triangles are congruent- SAS (Side-Angle-Side) Congruence Postulate and the HL (Hypotenuse-Leg) Congruence Theorem.  We also discussed why there is no such thing as the SSA (Side-Side-Angle) Congruence Postulate/Theorem.

Tonight's homework is P. 243-245 #13,15,31,34, and 35

Please see the following videos for additional explanation of the theorems if you are still confused:
