Front

What is the Triangle Congruence Postulate?

Back

A rule that states two triangles are congruent if certain conditions are met.

Front

What is the difference between congruent and similar triangles?

Back

Congruent triangles have the same size and shape; similar triangles have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.

Front

Can two triangles be congruent if they have two sides and a non-included angle equal?

Back

No, this is SSA and does not guarantee congruence.
