GUIDE CARD

Chief Captain, help me! I have

trouble in my airline pathways. As
I drive I noticed that there are
obstacles on my paths. Volcano on
my right side, then a hurricane on
my left and then another airplane
along my way. Would you like to tell
me other paths? I might lost and
crash. Please help me before its
too late!
Indeed, we see the trouble you
are going through as seen in our
radar. Please double check and
listen to our instructions. You
are heading on a too dangerous
mission!
This is the picture
of what youre
heading. We will
give you ideas on
how to drive the
plane in different
direction.
SHORTEST DISTANCE
SAFE ALTERNATIVE PATH
Note: Due to the gravity,
volcanoes can pull the
airplanes toward to their
crater.
Note: When there is too
much clouds or
hurricanes, pilots doesnt
have clear paths. Huge air
can disrupt airplane
banking.
Just like highways and street paths,
airplanes also have own paths across
the sky. They cant just fly in
whatever direction they want!
Other
Plane
Volcano
Hurricane
As you can see,
if you will
connect the
paths, you can
form triangles.
46.92
69.81
How sure you are that we have the same path? You travel at 4.45 miles
69.81 East of North then you turn at 46.92 degree. Do we have the same
distance from the triangles we formed?
4.45 miles
Yes captain. I remember during my
Geometry class. My triangle in the
screen is just same because we have
same angle (69.81
O
) then 4.45 miles as
side, then other same angle ( 46.92
O
).
It is known as ASA! Angle-Side-Angle. If two angles and the included side of
one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and the included
side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent!
SAME
Nice job! Now, proceed to your next path from the last point! Im
sending you the image.
I drove 2.05 miles then turns to my
right at 45.59O degrees. Then at 2.84
miles. Im sure, I cannot meet the
hurricane. It is because, we have the
same triangles?
And I know you are familiar with SAS Postulate! It
means Side- Angle- Side. If two sides and the included
angle of one triangle are congruent to the
corresponding two sides and the included angle of
another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
2.05 miles
2.84 miles
45.59
O
SAME
Captain! This is my last trial. Before Ill bump
with other plane. I just want to make sure
that I turn left at 2.84 miles then will drive at
1.92 miles. However captain, I dont know
the angles. Will it still be the same if I
connect the starting point to the endpoint
and it forms 2.08 miles?
What do you think? Suppose I will give you this
figure. For example, you just drove 1 mile. Will
it have the same angle?
1 mile
No its not! Ah, I understand! Same sides of a two
triangles means same angle to the other triangles. That
is SSS or Side-Side-Side! They are just congruent!
SAME
1.92

2.84

2.08

?
And now Ill be safe to take off my flight!
Imagine if I didnt recall my geometry lessons,
many people will suffer and die! I feel like Im
hero. Good thing that my passengers dont
know the dangers ahead. Thanks much
Captain. Knowledge in math can save us from
unexpected dangers.
Side-Angle-Side Postulate (SAS)
If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are
congruent to the corresponding two sides and the included angle of
another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Angle-Side-Angle Postulate (ASA)
If two angles and the included side of one triangle are
congruent to the corresponding two angles and the included side of
another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Side-Side-Side Postulate (SSS)
If three sides of one triangle are congruent to the
corresponding sides of the other triangle, then the two triangles are
congruent
REMEMBER THIS!!!
a. Materials: Compass, ruler, pencil
b. Procedure

Start with three line segments that
will be the three sides of the
triangle ABC.
1. Mark a point A that will be one
vertex of the new triangle.
2. Set the compass width to the
length of the segment AB. This will
become the base of the new
triangle.
3. With the compass point on A,
make an arc near the future vertex B
of the triangle.
4. Mark a point B on this arc. This
will become the next vertex of the
new triangle.
7. Use the compass to measure the
length of the segment BC, the
length of the third side of the
triangle.
6. Place the compass point on A
and make an arc in the vicinity of
where the third vertex of the
triangle (C) will be. All points along
this arc are the distance AC from A,
but we do not yet quite know
exactly where the vertex C is.
5. Set the compass width to the
length of the line segment AC.
8. From point B, draw an arc
crossing the first. Where these
intersect is the vertex C of the
triangle
9. Finally, draw the three sides AB,
AC, and BC of the new triangle.
10. Done. The blue triangle ABC
has each side congruent to the
corresponding line segment.

II. SAS Postulate
Start with two line segments and
the included angle.
1. Mark a point A that will be one
vertex of the new triangle.
2. Draw a ray from point A. This will
become the side AB of the new
triangle, so make it longer than AB.
a. Materials: Compass, ruler, pencil
b. Procedure

3. Set the compass width to the
length of the given side AB.
4. Set the compass on A, and mark
a point B on the ray just drawn.
5. With the compass set to any
convenient width, from the point A
on the given angle, draw an arc
across both lines..
6. Without changing the compass
width, draw a similar sized arc at
point A on the new triangle.
7. Set the compass to the arc width
at the given angle A. This the
distance between the points where
the arc intersects the sides of the
angle.
8. Make a similar arc on the new
triangle so it crosses the previous
arc.
6. Without changing the compass
width, draw a similar sized arc at
point A on the new triangle.
9. Draw a ray from A, through
where the arcs intersect and
onwards. This will become side AC
of the triangle so make it longer
than AC.
9. Draw a ray from A, through
where the arcs intersect and
onwards. This will become side AC
of the triangle so make it longer
than AC.
10. Set the compass width to the
distance AC.
11. With the compass on A, make
an arc across the second ray,
creating point C.
12. Draw the line BC, the third side
of the triangle

Start with the given line segment
and two angles.
Note: The two given angles are only there to indicate
The measure of the two angles. The lines making up
the given angles have random lengths that have no
significance in the construction.
1. Mark a point A that will be one vertex of the
new triangle.
2. Set the compass width to the length of the
segment AB.
a. Materials: Compass, ruler, pencil
b. Procedure

3. With the compass point on A, make an arc near the
future vertex B of the triangle.
4. Mark a point B on this arc.
Then draw the line AB. This will be one side of
the new triangle.
5. With the compass at any convenient
width, draw an arc across both lines of the
given angle A.
6. Without changing the compass width,
draw an arc at point A on the new triangle.
The arc must cross AB and also cross the
future side of the triangle.
7. Set the compass to the arc width at the given
angle A.
This the distance between the points where the arc
intersects the sides of the angle.
8. Near point A draw an arc in a similar
position so it crosses the arc drawn earlier.
This, in effect, 'copies' the measure of the
angle at P to the angle at A.
9. Draw a line from A through the point where
the arcs intersect. This will become the second
side of the triangle. Draw it long.
10. Repeat this process at B. Copying the angle
measure from the given angle B to the new
triangle at B. The point where the lines
intersect is C, the third vertex of the triangle.
