What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence stating that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

What must be true if △ABC is congruent to △DEF by SSS?

Back

All corresponding sides and angles are equal: AB = DE, AC = DF, BC = EF, and ∠A = ∠D, ∠B = ∠E, ∠C = ∠F.

What is the relationship between congruence and similarity?

Back

Congruence means two figures are identical in shape and size, while similarity means they have the same shape but may differ in size.

What is the Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) theorem?

Back

In right triangles, if the hypotenuse and one leg of one triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one leg of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
