What postulate or theorem can you use to prove triangles are congruent?
Two triangles are congruent if they satisfy any of the following:-- two sides and the included angle of one triangle equal to the corresponding parts of the other one-- two angles and the included side of one triangle equal to the corresponding parts of the other one-- all three sides of one triangle equal to the corresponding parts of the other one-- they are right triangles, and hypotenuse and one leg of one triangle equal to thecorresponding parts of the other one-- they are right triangles, and hypotenuse and one acute angle of one triangle equalto the corresponding parts of the other one
What are corresponding parts?
Corresponding parts can be described using many different examples. I'll use right triangles. By definition, one of the interior angles of a right triangle is 90o. Therefore the other two interior angles of a right triangle must add up to 90o since the sum of all three interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180o. In fact, the two corresponding angles of any other right triangle must add up to 90o. Those angles are corresponding parts of a right triangle. The 90o angle is another, albeit different, corresponding part of a right triangle.This can be generalized to pretty much anything you're talking about as long as what your talking about has parts. Take a person's face for example. I have blue eyes. You may have green eyes. Green would be the color of your corresponding facial feature to my blue.
What is the formula for finding a missing side on a congruent triangle?
It is the same length as the corresponding side on the other triangle.
Triangles that have their corresponding parts congruent?
Are congruent triangles.
