Study Notes
Triangle Congruence Criteria
-
Side-Side-Side (SSS):
- States that congruence of all three sides of two triangles ensures their overall congruence.
-
Side-Angle-Side (SAS):
- Establishes that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle match those of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
-
Angle-Side-Angle (ASA):
- Claims that congruence of two angles and the side between them leads to congruence of the triangles; the side must be the one formed by the two angles.
-
Angle-Angle-Side (AAS):
- Involves two angles and a non-included side; if these components are congruent in two triangles, the triangles are congruent.
-
Hypotenuse-Leg (HL):
- Applies specifically to right triangles, stating that if the hypotenuse and one leg of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
