Congruent triangles and triangle similarity are fundamental concepts in geometry. This guide explores the criteria for triangle congruence and similarity, providing clear definitions and examples to help students understand these important principles.
- Congruent triangles have equal corresponding sides and angles
- Three main criteria for triangle congruence: SSS, SAS, and ASA
- Triangle similarity involves proportional sides and equal angles
- Similarity criteria include AAA, SAS, and SSS
- Understanding these concepts is crucial for solving geometric problems
