Congruency of Triangles

∆ABC ≅ ∆PQR.

First I will explain about congruency of triangles.

Two triangles are congruent if,

they are of the same size and shape.

All the corresponding sides and interior angles are congruent.

Slide Number 6

SSS rule of congruency

Two triangles are congruent if, three sides of one triangle are equal to the three corresponding sides of another triangle.

We will begin with the Side Side Side rule of congruency.

This is the definition of Side Side Side rule of congruency.

Point to the interface. I have already opened the GeoGebra interface on my machine.
Right-click on Graphics view >> from the sub-menu uncheck Axes check-box. For this tutorial, I will disable the axes.
