Answer 2

somebody please?

Answer 3

in geometry congruence means the same thing
don't know if I know any shortcuts

Answer 4

i mean like explain SSS and SAS please (:

Answer 5

post and example or a specific question
geometry tends to be precise
which means you have to know your definitions and theorems

Answer 6

SSS is side side side
SAS is side angle side

Answer 7

has to look like this

Answer 8

Well you have to know conjectures.
I learned a lot of them for Triangles. Also did Kites, trapezoids, etc..
CPCTC - Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent.
so if you can prove three sides equal the whole triangle is congruent.
then there is S = side A = angle
and they are conjectures likes
AAS, SSS, ASA,, the only ones the don't work is retriceand AAA. Our teacher taught us to remember that by "Butts" and "Batteries"
this little slides show is really helpful.

Have you started doing the two-column proofs to prove a figure congruent?

Answer 9

Angle must be in between those two sides
see the difference
