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.
Having same size and shape?
If two geometrical figures have the same size and shape, they are said to be 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.
The term for two triangles that are congruent after a dilation is?
The term for two triangles that are congruent after a dilation is similar.
What is the difference between similar and congruent?
Congruent means two figures have exactly the same shape and size. If the shape is identical, but not the size , two figures are similar.
