What is the Reflexive Property?

Back

The Reflexive Property states that any geometric figure is congruent to itself, e.g., ∠A ≅ ∠A.

How can you prove triangles are congruent using the SSS criterion?

Back

To prove triangles are congruent using SSS, show that all three corresponding sides of the triangles are equal.
