Ch 14.3 ASA Exploration

The following activity explores the possibility of ASA Triangle Congruence.
  • Segment A'B' is fixed to match the length of segment AB
  • is fixed to be congruent to
  • is fixed to be congruent to
  • The blue points on triangle ABC will alter the side and angle measurements of the triangle.
  • The red points allow you to manipulate certain sides lengths and angle measurements of triangle A'B'C'.
  1. Manipulate the red points of A'B'C to become a triangle congruent to triangle ABC. Was it possible? Why or why not?
  2. Can you find a way to manipulate the red points of A'B'C become a triangle different than triangle ABC? If so, what does this mean about ASA Congruence? If not, why not?
