Understanding Triangle Congruence

The video tutorial explains how to determine if two triangles are congruent. It introduces the concept of congruence, which means two shapes are identical in form and size. The tutorial covers the properties of triangles, including their angles and sides, and explains three rules for proving congruence: Side-Side-Side (SSS), Side-Angle-Side (SAS), and Angle-Side-Angle (ASA). Each rule is discussed in detail, highlighting the importance of knowing specific sides and angles to establish congruence between triangles.

What does it mean for two triangles to be congruent?

• They have the same angles.

• They have the same area.

• They have the same perimeter.

• They are identical in shape and size.
