Triangle Congruence Theorems Challenge

The video tutorial covers various triangle congruence theorems, including SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, and HL. It explains how to use a foldable to organize notes and highlights false shortcuts like AAA and SSA. The video concludes with instructions on where to place the notes in the notebook.

What is the first step in creating the foldable?

• Write the theorems

• Turn it over

• Fold on the dotted line

• Cut on the solid line

According to the SSS Congruence Theorem, if three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, what can be concluded?

• The triangles are isosceles

• The triangles are similar

• The triangles are congruent

• The triangles are right triangles

Why does the AAA shortcut not work for proving triangle congruence?

• It requires knowledge of side lengths

• It only works for right triangles

• It only shows similarity, not congruence

• It is not a recognized mathematical theorem
