Activity 5

1.	Draw any triangle. Label it $ΔQRS .$
2.	Choose your partner. Tell him/her to draw another triangle with two sides and a nonincluded angle congruent to $\bar{QR},$ $\bar{RS},$ and $∠ S,$ respectively. Ask him/her to label it $ΔTUV .$
3.	Cut out $ΔQRS$ and $ΔTUV .$ Determine if the two triangles are congruent. Compare your results with those of the other groups.
4.	Write a conclusion about two triangles that have two sides and a nonincluded angle of one triangle congruent to two sides and a nonincluded angle of the other triangle.
