    Congruent Triangles

    Criteria for Congruent Triangles

    SSS Criterion (Side-Side-Side)

    • If three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
    • This criterion ensures that the corresponding sides of the two triangles are equal.

    ASA Criterion (Angle-Side-Angle)

    • If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
    • The included side is the side between the two given angles.

    SAS Criterion (Side-Angle-Side)

    • If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
    • The included angle is the angle between the two given sides.

    AAS Criterion (Angle-Angle-Side)

    • If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and a non-included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
    • The non-included side is a side that is not between the two given angles.

    Note: These criteria are used to prove that two triangles are congruent, and they are all equivalent.

    Congruent Triangles

    Criteria for Congruent Triangles

    SSS Criterion

    • Three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, ensuring corresponding sides are equal.

    ASA Criterion

    • Two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle.
    • The included side is the side between the two given angles.

    SAS Criterion

    • Two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle.
    • The included angle is the angle between the two given sides.

    AAS Criterion

    • Two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and a non-included side of another triangle.
    • The non-included side is a side that is not between the two given angles.

    General Notes

    • These criteria are used to prove that two triangles are congruent.
    • All four criteria (SSS, ASA, SAS, and AAS) are equivalent.
