Mixed Review

See Lesson 4-3.

For Exercises 27 and 28, tell the postulate or theorem that you can use to prove the triangles congruent.

  1. Two triangles have two pairs of congruent angles, with the sides between them congruent.
  2. Two triangles share a side, with angles at opposite ends of the shared side congruent and angles opposite the shared side congruent.

See Lesson 3-5.
