Key Topics to Revise

1

Congruence of Triangles - Fundamental Concepts

  • Two triangles are congruent if they have the same shape and size - all corresponding sides and angles are equal
  • Congruent triangles can be placed on top of each other to cover completely
  • Symbol: ∆ABC ≅ ∆PQR means triangle ABC is congruent to triangle PQR
2

SAS Congruence Rule - Side-Angle-Side

  • Two triangles are congruent if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle
  • The angle must be between the two given equal sides (included angle)
  • This is an axiom - accepted as true without proof
3

ASA and AAS Congruence Rules - Angle-Side-Angle and Angle-Angle-Side

  • ASA: Two triangles are congruent if two angles and the included side are equal
  • AAS: Two triangles are congruent if two angles and a non-included side are equal
  • If two angles are equal, the third angle is automatically equal (angle sum property)
4

SSS Congruence Rule - Side-Side-Side

  • Two triangles are congruent if all three sides of one triangle are equal to all three sides of another triangle
  • This rule can be proven using construction methods
  • Useful when only side information is available
