Triangle Congruence and Properties

The video tutorial covers triangle proofs using addition and subtraction theorems. It begins with an introduction to these theorems and their applications in proving segment and angle congruence. Two detailed examples are provided: the first uses the side-side-side theorem, and the second employs the side-angle-side theorem. The video concludes with instructions for students to attempt a problem on their own and bring questions to the next class.
