What is the SSS Congruence Theorem for Triangles - Congruent Triangles

The video tutorial introduces the SSS congruence theorem, explaining its meaning and application in geometry. It describes congruence as the equality of shapes in terms of side lengths and angles. The tutorial uses a triangle example to illustrate how SSS congruence can determine if two triangles are congruent, emphasizing the importance of equal side lengths and angles.

What does the SSS in SSS congruence stand for?

• Side-Side-Side

• Social Security Systems

• Side-Same-Side

• Same-Side-Same

What does it mean for two shapes to be congruent?

• They have the same color.

• They have the same area.

• They are both circles.

• They have equal side lengths and angles.

Which of the following is true about congruent triangles?

• They have equal side lengths and equal angles.

• They have equal angles but different side lengths.

• They have different side lengths.

• They have equal side lengths but different angles.

How can you identify congruent triangles using SSS?

• By checking if they have the same area.

• By comparing their angles only.

• By ensuring all three sides of one triangle are equal to the corresponding sides of another triangle.

• By checking if they are both right triangles.

What is the significance of tick marks on the sides of a triangle in the context of SSS congruence?

• They indicate the triangle's color.

• They show which sides are parallel.

• They denote equal side lengths between triangles.

• They mark the triangle's height.
