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)
If two triangles have a congruent angle and two congruent sides then are the triangles guaranteed to be congruent?
Only if the congruent angle is the angle between the two congruent sides (SAS postulate).
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.
Assume you are given two right triangles with congruent hypotenuses and wish to show that they are congruent what denote a congruence thereom for right triangles may be of use?
Hl & ha
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.
