Given

triangles

Find

List every way possible to prove that two triangles are congruent

Step-by-step explanation

1) SSS congruence (Side - side - side)

when all corresponding sides of the two triangles are equal.

then ,


\Delta ABC\cong\Delta PQR

b) SAS congruence (Side - Angle - Side)

when two sides and one angle are equal.

then ,


\Delta ABC\cong\Delta PQR

c) ASA congruence (Angle - side - angle)

when two angles and one side are equal


\Delta ABC\cong\Delta PQR

d) RHS (right - hypotenuse - side)

in two right triangles when hypotenuse and one side are equal.

then ,


\Delta ABC\cong\Delta DEF

Final Answer

Hence , there are four possible ways to prove the triangles are congruent.
