Two triangles are congruent if ________________. all three corresponding angles are of equal measure all three corresponding sides are of equal length two corresponding angles are of equal measure two corresponding sides are of equal length
B
thanx!xD
all three corresponding angles are of equal measure all three corresponding sides are of equal length
both a and b
if all three corresponding angles get same doesnt means that all sides are of equal length and they can be similar triangles....but having the same side lengths implies they are congruent @CGGURUMANJUNATH
Agreed with @divu.mkr All angles the same = similar triangles, not necessarily congruent. This picture might help: |dw:1389766153195:dw| I hope this convinces you that the angles are the same, but their sides are proportional and not equal
@CGGURUMANJUNATH The first attachment says you need BOTH all 3 sides \(\text{and}\) all 3 angles for 2 triangles to be congruent. But, you can simply show SSS (all 3 sides) are equal to do that, but you cannot simply do that with angles (that is to show that the 3 angles determine that they're congruent)
