What makes triangles congruent answer key? ›

When two angles and a non-included side of a triangle are equal to the corresponding angles and sides of another triangle, then the triangles are said to be congruent.

The HL Postulate says that if you have two right triangles with the hypotenuse and 1 leg of equal lengths then the triangles are congruent.

SSS (side-side-side): If three pairs of sides of two triangles are equal in length, then the triangles are congruent. ASA (angle-side-angle): If two pairs of angles of two triangles are equal in measurement, and the included sides are equal in length, then the triangles are congruent.

Two triangles are congruent if they meet one of the following criteria. : All three pairs of corresponding sides are equal. : Two pairs of corresponding sides and the corresponding angles between them are equal. : Two pairs of corresponding angles and the corresponding sides between them are equal.

If all three pairs of corresponding sides are congruent, then the triangles are congruent. If two pairs of corresponding sides and the pair of included angles are congruent, then the triangles are congruent.

Understanding Triangle Congruence

In the context of triangles Δ PQR and Δ XYZ illustrated below, it can be discerned that PQ equals XY, PR equals XZ, and QR equals YZ. Additionally, ∠P matches ∠X, ∠Q aligns with ∠Y, and ∠R corresponds to ∠Z. Consequently, it is valid to assert that Δ PQR is congruent to Δ XYZ.

SAS (side, angle, side)

SAS stands for "side, angle, side" and means that we have two triangles where we know two sides and the included angle are equal. If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to the corresponding sides and angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Triangles that have exactly the same size and shape are called congruent triangles. The symbol for congruent is ≅. Two triangles are congruent when the three sides and the three angles of one triangle have the same measurements as three sides and three angles of another triangle.

The length of line segment AB is equal to 5 cm and PQ is also equal to 5 cm. Hence, the length of both line segments are equal to each other. So, if two or more lines are equal in length, they are said to be congruent to each other. Hence, the line segments AB and PQ are congruent with each other.

How do you write a congruence statement for a triangle? ›

Writing a Congruence Statement

To write the congruence statement, you need to line up the corresponding parts in the triangles: ∠ R ≅ ∠ F , ∠ S ≅ ∠ E , and ∠ T ≅ ∠ D . Therefore, the triangles are △ R S T ≅ △ F E D .

What are the 5 ways to prove triangles congruent? There are five theorems that can be used to show that two triangles are congruent: the Side-Side-Side (SSS) theorem, the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) theorem, the Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) theorem, the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) theorem, and the Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) theorem.

We say integers a and b are "congruent modulo n" if their difference is a multiple of n. For example, 17 and 5 are congruent modulo 3 because 17 - 5 = 12 = 4⋅3, and 184 and 51 are congruent modulo 19 since 184 - 51 = 133 = 7⋅19. We often write this as 17 ≡ 5 mod 3 or 184 ≡ 51 mod 19.

Two triangles are congruent if their corresponding sides are equal in length, and their corresponding angles are equal in measure.

SSS refers to the equality of three sides between triangles. AAS refers to the equality between two sides and an angle between triangles. SAS refers to the equality between two sides and an angle (between the sides) between triangles. ASA refers to the equality between two angles and one side between triangles.

Triangles that have exactly the same size and shape are called congruent triangles. The symbol for congruent is ≅. Two triangles are congruent when the three sides and the three angles of one triangle have the same measurements as three sides and three angles of another triangle.

Two right-angled triangles are said to be congruent to each other if the hypotenuse and one side of the right triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and the corresponding side of the other right-angled triangle.
