Understanding Congruent Triangles

The video tutorial explains the concept of congruent triangles, which are triangles with the same shape and size. It discusses how corresponding angles and sides of congruent triangles are equal and introduces the symbol used to denote congruence. The tutorial also covers how to list corresponding vertices in the same order and provides examples to illustrate these concepts. The video concludes with a brief mention of future topics and additional resources for further learning.

What defines two triangles as congruent?

• They have the same area.

• They have the same perimeter.

• They have the same shape and size.

• They have the same color.
