Two triangles that have the same angles?
The triangles are similar, but not necessarily congruent.
What is congruences?
the strongest relationship a pair of triangles can have is congruence. two segments or two angles are congruent when they have the same measures. congruent triangles have exactly the same size and shape.
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.
If any two sides and any angle are congruent in two triangles then the triangles must be congruent?
False
Are similar triangles always congruent?
No, congruent triangles are always similar but similar triangles and not always congruent. Imagine that similar triangles can be created on a copy machine enlarge and shrink the image, turn it, even turn it over, the angles remain the same. A congruent triangle must be exactly the same as the original. Hope this helps!
