Geometry - We began our exploration of identifying methods for proving triangles congruent employing two of the definitions of congruent triangles discussed in class on Tuesday:

- Two triangles are congruent iff each pr of corr < are congruent and each pr of corr sides are congruent. (This is the traditional DEFINITION of CONGRUENT TRIANGLES that appears in most text books.  It appears in Sec. 4.3 of our text.)

- Two triangles are congruent iff the triangles are similar AND the ratio of corr sides is 1:1.  (We created this "definition" based on our studies of similar triangles in Ch. 7.  We will explore this idea further in Sec. 4.5.)

HW for Thursday - Complete any proof that we did not finish in class.  In addition ...

Modern Math - We discussed various methods for calculating theoretical probabilities.
