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

- All 3 sides and all 3 angles (correct)
- 2 sides and 1 angle
- 1 side and 2 angles
