Hand Proving The Congruence of Triangles

1. The document provides information about five triangle congruence theorems: SAA, LL, LA, HA, and HL. 2. It then gives three practice proofs applying these theorems. The proofs involve showing that triangles are congruent by citing corresponding parts that are congruent based on the different theorems and explaining the reasoning. 3. The document provides exercises for students to complete proofs of triangle congruence using information given and applying the appropriate triangle congruence theorems.
