What does the term 'congruent triangles' mean?

Back

Congruent triangles are triangles that are identical in shape and size, meaning all corresponding sides and angles are equal.

What is the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) congruence criterion?

Back

The ASA criterion states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

What is the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) congruence criterion?

Back

The SAS criterion states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
