Study Notes
Congruence of Triangles
- Congruence means two shapes are identical in size and shape, perfectly overlapping.
- Congruent figures have identical corresponding sides and angles.
- Congruence is denoted by the symbol "≅".
- Correspondence in congruence is the matching of sides and angles in congruent figures.
Methods of proving congruence
- SSS (Side-Side-Side) Congruence: Triangles are congruent if all three sides of one triangle are equal to the corresponding sides of the other.
- SAS (Side-Angle-Side) Congruence: Two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to the corresponding two sides and included angle of the other.
- ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Congruence: Two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding two angles and included side of the other.
- AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) Congruence: Two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding two angles and non-included side of the other.
- RHS (Right Angle-Hypotenuse-Side) Congruence: For right-angled triangles, the hypotenuse and one side of one triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one side of the other.
Application of Congruency
- Congruence is crucial in geometry to prove shape and size equality.
- Its applications are diverse, including construction and engineering.
- It is used in geometric problem solving and theorem proofs.
Example Problems
- Question 1: Determine congruence using SSS.
- Measure all three sides. Equal corresponding sides mean congruent triangles.
- Question 2: Determine congruence using SAS.
- Identify two sides and the included angle in each triangle. Equal corresponding values mean congruent triangles.
- Question 3: Determine congruence using ASA.
- Identify two angles and the included side in each triangle. Equal corresponding values mean congruent triangles.
- Question 4: Determine congruence using AAS.
- Identify two angles and a non-included side in each triangle. Equal corresponding values mean congruent triangles.
- Question 5: Determine congruence using RHS.
- Verify if the hypotenuse and one side of one right triangle are equal to the corresponding parts of the other.
Triangle Congruence Tests
- SSS (Side-Side-Side): All three sides of one triangle equal the corresponding sides of another.
- SAS (Side-Angle-Side): Two sides and the included angle of one triangle equal the corresponding parts of the other.
- ASA (Angle-Side-Angle): Two angles and the included side of one triangle equal the corresponding parts of the other.
- AAS (Angle-Angle-Side): Two angles and a non-included side of one triangle equal the corresponding parts of another.
- RHS (Right-Hypotenuse-Side): For right triangles, the hypotenuse and one side of one triangle equal the corresponding parts of the other.
Congruent Triangles and Correspondence
- Congruent triangles have matching sides and angles.
- Correspondence describes this precise pairing of sides and angles.
