What makes triangles congruent answer key? ›

Two triangles are congruent if and only if corresponding pairs of sides and corresponding pairs of angles are congruent.

Two triangles are congruent if they meet one of the following criteria. : All three pairs of corresponding sides are equal. : Two pairs of corresponding sides and the corresponding angles between them are equal. : Two pairs of corresponding angles and the corresponding sides between them are equal.

Congruence of triangles: Two triangles are said to be congruent if all three corresponding sides are equal and all the three corresponding angles are equal in measure. These triangles can be slides, rotated, flipped and turned to be looked identical. If repositioned, they coincide with each other.

Two triangles are said to be congruent if one can be placed over the other so that they coincide (fit together). This means that congruent triangles are exact copies of each other and when fitted together the sides and angles which coincide, called corresponding sides and angles, are equal.

You have to measure the length of both triangles separately, like AB, BC, and AC, and XY, YZ, and ZX. You also need to measure the angle between triangles XYZ and PQR. If you find AB=XY, BC=YZ, and the angles of both triangles equal to each other, then you have proven a congruent triangle with SAS.

Side Side Side Congruence Theorem

Side-Side-Side (SSS) congruence theorem states that if three sides of a triangle is equal to the corresponding sides of the other triangle, the two triangles are said to be congruent. Let us see the proof of the theorem: Given: AB = DE, BC = EF, and AC = DF. To prove: ∆ABC ≅ ∆DEF.

If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding angles and side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Two triangles are congruent if they satisfy the 5 conditions of congruence. They are side-side-side (SSS), side-angle-side (SAS), angle-side-angle (ASA), angle-angle-side (AAS) and right angle-hypotenuse-side (RHS).

The ASA Theorem (angle-side-angle) says that if two angles and the side between them of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the side between of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. There is no need to check the value of the third angle or the other two sides.

What is the symbol for congruent triangles? ›

Triangles that have exactly the same size and shape are called congruent triangles. The symbol for congruent is ≅.

The triangles are said to be congruent if two angles and the included side of a triangle are equal to two corresponding angles and the included side of another triangle. Example : Conclude that ∆AOC ≅ ∆BOD, using ASA congruence rule from the given figure.

The HL Postulate says that if you have two right triangles with the hypotenuse and 1 leg of equal lengths then the triangles are congruent.

For example, suppose we build a square room where all the corners are 90°. Its four corners would all have congruent angles because they are all the same measure. Similarly, we know an isosceles triangle has two angles with the same measure. These two angles are therefore congruent.

SSS stands for “side, side, side” and means that we have two triangles with all three sides equal. If three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

SSS refers to the equality of three sides between triangles. AAS refers to the equality between two sides and an angle between triangles. SAS refers to the equality between two sides and an angle (between the sides) between triangles. ASA refers to the equality between two angles and one side between triangles.

If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to the corresponding sides and angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Two right-angled triangles are said to be congruent to each other if the hypotenuse and one side of the right triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and the corresponding side of the other right-angled triangle.

There are five theorems that can be used to show that two triangles are congruent: the Side-Side-Side (SSS) theorem, the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) theorem, the Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) theorem, the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) theorem, and the Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) theorem.
