For the ones with the lines. Those are supposed to be above the letters.
OpenStudy (3mar):
May I help?
OpenStudy (texmechanica):
Yes please
OpenStudy (3mar):
Thank you.
OpenStudy (3mar):
Are these triangles congruent?
△ABC≅△EFG

Yes, hence the equal to or greater than sign
OpenStudy (3mar):
This results in what? (related to sides, not angles?
OpenStudy (texmechanica):
Well, I am not sure.
OpenStudy (texmechanica):
They're congruent in their sides I suppose
OpenStudy (3mar):
the corresponding sides are congruent also. Am I right?

Yes
OpenStudy (3mar):
Great!
can you list these corresponding congruent sides for me?
OpenStudy (texmechanica):
A and E B and F C and G
OpenStudy (3mar):
sides not angles
OpenStudy (texmechanica):
Oh....I think I'm lost.

do you know the difference between a side and an angle?
OpenStudy (3mar):
@TexMechanica
OpenStudy (texmechanica):
Yes, an angle is when two lines meet to form a point and a side is one of the lines.
OpenStudy (3mar):
great!
side's name is two letters (usually the start point and the end point) and angle's name is just the vertex letter of three sometimes.
OpenStudy (texmechanica):
Oh alright so one side is AB

Right?
OpenStudy (3mar):
Yes right
OpenStudy (texmechanica):
I think I got it, it's B.
OpenStudy (3mar):
Look!
