You can prove by making two or more identical triangles.Congruence means when two figures have the same size, form, and shape.

How do you Prove triangle ACD is congruent to triangle BDC?
Because Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles, there are five ways to prove that two triangles are congruent. Show that all sides are congruent. (SSS) Show that two sides and their common angle are congruent. (SAS) Show that two angles and their common side are congruent. (ASA) Show that two angles and one of the non common sides are congruent. (AAS) Show that the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are congruent. (HL)
How do you prove the diagonals of an isosceles triangle congruent?
You can't because triangles do not have diagonals but an isosceles triangle has 2 equal sides
How would you prove triangles are congruent?
You could prove two triangles are congruent by measuring each side of both triangles, and all three angles of each triangle. If the lengths of the sides are the same, and so are the angles, then the triangles are congruent... if not, then the triangles are not congruent. If the triangles have the exact same size and shape then they are congruent.
Does a scalene triangle have congruent angles?
No, An equilateral triangle has 3 congruent angles, an isosceles triangle has 2 congruent angles, a scalene triangle has no congruent angles.
If a triangle has one congruent side then is it a scalene triangle?
if it has one congruent side it is a scalene triangle. if it has a pair of congruent sides it is an isosceles triangle. if all the sides are congruent it is an equilateral triangle
How can proving two triangles congruent can help prove parts of the triangle congruent?
When you prove a triangle is congruent to another, it can help you prove parts of the triangle congruent by checking the ratio between all sides and angles. Thank you for asking
How do you prove an isosceles triangle?
an isisceles triangle is a triangle with atleast two sides congruent.

Can you use the SSS postulate or the SAS postulate to prove triangle ABC and triangle AED are congruent?
Blah blah blah

Is an equilateral triangle always or sometimes called an isosceles?
If you can only prove two sides of an apparently equilateral triangle to be congruent then you have to use isosceles.
How can you prove a triangle ABC is isosceles if angle BAD is congruent to angle CAD and line AD is perpendicular to line Bc?
Given: AD perpendicular to BC; angle BAD congruent to CAD Prove: ABC is isosceles Plan: Principle a.s.a Proof: 1. angle BAD congruent to angle CAD (given) 2. Since AD is perpendicular to BC, then the angle BDA is congruent to the angle CDA (all right angles are congruent). 3. AD is congruent to AD (reflexive property) 4. triangle BAD congruent to triangle CAD (principle a.s.a) 5. AB is congruent to AC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent) 6. triangle ABC is isosceles (it has two congruent sides)
Does a scalene triangle have congruent angles?
No, An equilateral triangle has 3 congruent angles, an isosceles triangle has 2 congruent angles, a scalene triangle has no congruent angles.
What is the definition of AAS Congruence postulate of trianges?
It is a theorem, not a postulate, since it is possible to prove it. If two angles and a side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding angles and side of another triangle then the two triangles are congruent.
If a triangle has one congruent side then is it a scalene triangle?
if it has one congruent side it is a scalene triangle. if it has a pair of congruent sides it is an isosceles triangle. if all the sides are congruent it is an equilateral triangle
What is a triangle congruent to?
here is your answer: the triangle is congruent to BCR
