Criteria for Congruence of Triangles
Criteria for Congruence of Triangles: Overview
This topic covers the criteria for congruence of triangles. The congruence criteria for the triangles are SSS (Side-Side-Side) criteria, SAS criteria, and ASA Criteria.

Prove, . Also, prove that and .

Which of the following statements is/are not true for congruency of triangles.
Two right-angled triangles are congruent if the hypotenuse and one side of one triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one side of the other triangle.
If all the corresponding angles of two triangles are equal, then the triangles are congruent.
If two sides and a non-included angle of a triangle are equal to the two corresponding sides and a corresponding non-included angle of other triangle then the triangles are congruent.

In , and are bisectors of and respectively. If and are perpendiculars from on and respectively, prove that bisects the angle

is right-angled at ; and are squares. Prove that .

The image of an object placed at a point before a plane mirror is seen at the point by an observer at as in the adjoining figure. Prove that the image is as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror.

In the given figure, and . Prove that .

What is congruence among the right-angled isosceles triangles?

State True or False:
Two equilateral triangles are always congruent.

Sheela drew a triangle whose dimensions were x cm, y cm and z cm.
Meena drew a triangle whose dimensions were exactly half that of Sheela’ triangle.
Leela said both triangles followed the SSS rule of congruency as they were exactly proportional.
Reena pointed out that they were similar and not congruent.
Tina gave a solution to make the triangles congruent.
Pick the right option.
