easy medal+fan whats the description of SSS
Side, side, side
I think.
When all sides help determine the triangles are congruent.
well i need the full description on it. not just side side side.
If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.
SSS = Side, Side, Side When all sides help determine the triangles are congruent.
I feel a win coming on.
Well for triangles to be congruent by side-side-side they must have all three corresponding congruent sides. For triangles to be similar by side-side-side, all corresponding sides must be proportional.
When all three sides are congruent, the triangles are congruent.

|dw:1392231316012:dw|
Good enough?
how is the example SSS theres two different numbers.. wouldnt it have to be like all sides are two??
No, as long as the sides are congruent to their corresponding sides the triangle is congruent by SSS. For example A = 2, B = 2, C = 3. to be congruent the other angles have to be A' = 4, B' = 4, and C' = 6. the first triangle was increased by a factor of 2. Do you understand?
*sides *AB, BC, CA *AB', BC', and CA'
Sorry about any confusion.
ohhhhhhh haha okay that makes more sense thanks you deserve the medal :D
Thanks, always a pleasure to help those in need.
