Similar and Congruent Figures z. Similar figures have the same shape, but not the same size. They must have the same ratio of side lengths z. Congruent figures have the same shape and the same size z. Corresponding parts are the sides or angles that have the same position.

Geometry Triangle Congruence Theorems

Congruent Triangles z. Congruent triangles have three congruent sides and three congruent angles. z. However, triangles can be proved congruent without showing 3 pairs of congruent sides and angles.

Theorem z. If two angles in one triangle are congruent to two angles in another triangle, the third angles must also be congruent. z. Think about it… they have to add up to 180°.

A closer look. . . z If two triangles have two pairs of angles congruent, then their third pair of angles is congruent. z But do the two triangles have to be congruent? 85° 30°

Example 30° Why aren’t these triangles congruent? What do we call these triangles?

z. So, how do we prove that two triangles really are congruent?
