Let us Analyze!
In proving triangle congruence consider the
following:
1. Always, analyze the figure first.
2. Do not forget to mark the proven congruent parts.
3. If you have proven 2 congruent parts, go back to the
figure and look for another possible congruent part.
4. Identify what postulate or theorem is applicable to use.
5. Then use the identified postulate or theorem as reason
to end the proof.
Create your own proof showing that triangle BAC is congruent to triangle
