Study Notes
- Congruence means having the same shape and size, denoted by the symbol of an equal sign with a tilde on top, representing the same shape and the equal sign at the bottom representing the same size.
- The idea of congruence is used in objects like toys, paper bills, coins, silverware sets, and even in mass production to recognize congruent figures with the same orientation.
- Properties of triangle congruence include reflexive property (Angle A is congruent to Angle A), symmetric property (If Angle A is congruent to Angle B, then Angle B is congruent to Angle A), and transitive property (If Angle A is congruent to Angle B and Angle B is congruent to Angle C, then Angle A is congruent to Angle C).
- In triangle congruence, all corresponding parts must be congruent for two triangles to be considered congruent.
- The sum of the three interior angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees, according to the Triangle Sum Theorem.
- Included side of a triangle refers to a side where the endpoints are the vertices of two angles, while an included angle is an angle formed by two sides of a triangle.
- Opposite sides and opposite angles in a triangle refer to the side or angle that is not adjacent to a given side or angle.
- Correspondence in triangles is indicated by arrowheads, showing how corresponding parts of congruent triangles align.
- Understanding corresponding angles and sides is crucial in identifying and proving triangle congruence.
- The video emphasizes the importance of recognizing corresponding parts to establish triangle congruence accurately.
