Understanding Congruence in Shapes! 🎉
Welcome to the exciting world of geometry!
Today, we're going to talk about congruence. This means that two shapes are exactly the same in both size and shape. Isn't that cool? Here are some simple rules to help you figure out if shapes are congruent:
SSS (Side-Side-Side): If all three sides of one triangle are the same as the three sides of another triangle, then they are congruent! It’s like having a perfect twin!
SAS (Side-Angle-Side): If two sides and the angle between them in one triangle are the same as in another triangle, those triangles are congruent! The angle acts like glue that holds them together!
ASA (Angle-Side-Angle): If two angles and the side between them in one triangle match two angles and the side between them in another triangle, they are congruent! Angles are very important here!
AAS (Angle-Angle-Side): If you have two angles and a side that is not between them, those triangles are congruent too!
HL (Hypotenuse-Leg): For right triangles, if the longest side (hypotenuse) and one leg (side) are equal, then the triangles are congruent!
Let’s keep exploring the amazing world of shapes and congruence together! 🌟
