If they have the same sides and same angles then they are congruent.
Two triangles are called congruent if they have exactly the same size and shape. This can be determined by measuring all three sides of both triangles and measuring all three angles of both triangles.
The rules of geometry also tell us that we don't have to do all these measurement. Triangles have certain properties that simplify the matter. As an example, the sum of the internal angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. Therefore if two angles are known, the third angle is also known. Another is when three sides form a triangle, they only do so in one way so the angles between the sides can be determined.
There are specific rules for determining if two triangle are congruent:
- All three corresponding sides of both triangles are the same size.
- Two corresponding sides are the same length and the angle between them is the same
- Two corresponding angles are the same and the side between them is the same length
- Two angles are the same and the corresponding non-included side are equal.

What must be true before using corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent in a proof?
The triangles must be congruent.
If two triangles have three pairs of congruent angles then are the triangles guaranteed to be congruent?
false
What other 2d shape has congruent triangles in it?
A square and rectangle both have congruent triangles in them.
What is a triangle called with 2 congurent sides?
isosceles triangles have 2 congruent sides scalene triangles have no congruent sides equilateral triangles have 3 congruent sides
If two triangles have three pairs of congruent angles then the triangles are not guaranteed to be congruent?
Correct. Congruency means that two triangles have three pairs of congruent angles and corresponding sides of the same lengths. A pair of triangles with three pairs of congruent angles but sides of different lengths are similar, not congruent.
Triangles that have their corresponding parts congruent?
Are congruent triangles.
What postulate or theorem verifies the congruence of triangles?
sssThere are five methods for proving the congruence of triangles. In SSS, you prove that all three sides of two triangles are congruent to each other. In SAS, if two sides of the triangles and the angle between them are congruent, then the triangles are congruent. In ASA, if two angles of the triangles and the side between them are congruent, then the triangles are congruent. In AAS, if two angles and one of the non-included sides of two triangles are congruent, then the triangles are congruent. In HL, which only applies to right triangles, if the hypotenuse and one leg of the two triangles are congruent, then the triangles are congruent.
What are three ways that you can prove that triangles are congruent?
If triangles have the corresponding sides congruent then they are congruent. SSS If two triangles have two sides and an included angle congruent then they are congruent. SAS If two triangles have two angles and an included side congruent then they are congruent. ASA SSA doesn't work.
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.
Is it true that two triangles have 3 pairs of congruent angles then the triangle are not guaranteed to be congruent?
When two triangles are congruent, there are 6 facts that are true about the triangles. The triangles have 3 sets of congruent (of equal length) sides and the triangles have 3 sets of congruent (of equal measure) angles.
What are the two properties of congruent triangles?
All the corresponding sides in congruent triangles are equal All the corresponding angles in congruent triangles are equal
Are two triangles are congruent if they have the same base?
No. All corresponding sides and angles have to be congruent for the triangles to be congruent.
If all corresponding sides and angles of two triangles are congruent those triangles are?
The triangles are also congruent.
Does a triangle have 2 congruent sides?
Some, but not all. Triangles with 2 congruent sides are called isoceles triangles. Triangles with 3 congruent sides are called equilateral triangles.
What must be true before using corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent in a proof?
The triangles must be congruent.
What is c.p.c.t?
Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles is the full form od CPCT.
What other 2d shape has congruent triangles in it?
A square and rectangle both have congruent triangles in them.
