For segments or angles, "congruent" means that they have the same measure.For more complicated figures, such as triangles, "congruent" means that all corresponding sides and angles are congruent.

"Corresponding" means that you make an assignment, from angles and sides of one triangle, to angles and sides of the other triangle. For example, you might label the sides of one triangle a1, b1, c1, and the sides of other triangle a2, b2, c2 - and you consider the "a" sides to be "corresponding".

If the corresponding side lengths of two triangles are congruent the corresponding angles are also congruent.?

False. The statement should be: If the corresponding side lengths of two triangles are congruent, and the triangles are similar, then the corresponding angles are also congruent.


Is sss a way to find if triangles are similar?

Triangles are congruent if all three sides in one triangle are congruent to the corresponding sides in the other.When two triangles have corresponding sides with identical ratios, the triangles are similar.Of course if triangles are congruent, they are also similar.


Are corresponding angles of similar triangles congruent?

Yes.


Are two triangles with corresponding congruent angles congruent?

No, they are similar. They may be congruent, but they need not be.

Which is not a property of all similar triangles?

the corresponding sides are congruent


What are the corresponding sides called in similar triangles whose corresponding angles are congruent?

Proportional.


Can you assume that corresponding sides and corresponding angles of any two similar triangles are congruent and why?

you can assume that the angles are congruent, but not the sides.


Triangles that have their corresponding parts congruent?

Are congruent triangles.


Are congruent triangles similar?

Yes, similar triangles are congruent because in order to be congruent they must first be equal. Which in turn is the definition of a similar triangle. A triangle equal in angle measurements and/or side lengths. So, yes.


What is two triangles with corresponding angles and corresponding sides congruent called?

They are congruent triangles.
