If two triangles have the same side lengths but different angle measures, can they be considered congruent?

  • Yes, as long as the sum of their angles is 180 degrees
  • No, congruence only applies to polygons with four or more sides
  • Yes, because they have the same side lengths
  • No, they must have the same side lengths _and_ angle measures to be congruent (correct)

What is the minimum number of corresponding parts (sides or angles) that must be congruent for two triangles to be considered congruent?
