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.

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

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.

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.

SSS (Side-Side-Side)

If all the three sides of one triangle are equivalent to the corresponding three sides of the second triangle, then the two triangles are said to be congruent by SSS rule. In the above-given figure, AB= PQ, BC = QR and AC=PR, hence Δ ABC ≅ Δ PQR.

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).

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.

≅ ( U+2245 ≅ APPROXIMATELY EQUAL TO, LaTeX \cong), another combination of ≈ and =, which is also sometimes used to indicate isomorphism or congruence.

The symbol ∠ represents an angle.

What triangle is present if all angles of its sides are congruent? ›

Equilateral triangles have interior angles that are all congruent so they are equiangular.

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.

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.

There are 5 triangle congruence theorems - Side Side Side Theorem, Side Angle Side Theorem, Angle Side Angle Theorem, Angle Angle Side Theorem, and Right angle-Hypotenuse-Side or the Hypotenuse Leg theorem.

Grade 8 - Congruent triangles SSS SAS and ASA

The Side Angle Side postulate (often abbreviated as SAS) states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.
