Congruency Statements in Triangles

These flashcards cover key vocabulary and concepts related to congruency statements in triangles as discussed in the lecture notes.

Congruency Statements

A way of expressing that two triangles are congruent using symbols.

Order matters in congruency statements

The order in which the triangles are named must match when stating congruence.

Matching notation

The angles and sides of the triangles must be written in the same order in both congruencies.

Symbolic representation of congruency

Examples include ABAC = AEDF, indicating that triangles are congruent when corresponding angles and sides match.

Example of congruent triangles notation

AACB = ADFE shows that triangle ABC and triangle DEF are congruent with corresponding angles and sides in order.

Triangle Congruence notation example
