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.

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.
