How Do You Use a Congruence Postulate to Prove Triangles are Congruent?
Note:
When proving two triangles are congruent, you use information and postulates you already know to create a logical trail from what you know to what you want to show. This tutorial shows an example of using a congruence postulate to show two triangles are congruent!
