What is a triangle ? C

A triangle is a polygon with three


angles,three sides and three vertices. It
is one of the basic shapes in geometry. A
triangle with vertices A, B, and C is
denoted as triangle ABC.

examples
Some real-life examples of triangles include
sandwiches, traffic signs, cloth hangers, and a rack
in billiards.
The above figures are non-examples of triangles. These shapes
cannot be called triangles as –

• The first figure is four-sided.


• The second figure is an open shape.
• The third figure has a curved side.
Elements of a triangle
A triangle has 3 sides. In triangle ABC, the sides are ab, bc, and ca.
The angle formed by any two sides of a triangle is the angle of the triangle, denoted by
the symbol ∠. A triangle has three angles. The three angles of the triangle ABC are
∠ABC, ∠BCA, and ∠CAB. These angles are also called ∠B, ∠C, and ∠A.
The point of intersection of any two sides of a triangle is known as
a vertex. A triangle has three vertices. In triangle ABC, the
vertices are A, B, and C.

Congruence
Congruence
In geometry, two figures or objects are congruent if they have the same shape and
size, or if one has the same shape and size as the mirror image of the other.
This means that either object can be repositioned and reflected (but not resized) so
as to coincide with the other object.

Congruence of
triangles
Triangles that have exactly the same size and shape are called congruent triangles.
The symbol for congruent is ≅. Two triangles are congruent when the three
sides and the three angles of one triangle have the same measurements as
three sides and three angles of another triangle.
Corresponding parts
The parts of the two triangles that have the
same measurements are referred to as
corresponding parts. Congruent triangles are
named by listing their vertices in
corresponding orders. In Figure , Δ BAT ≅ Δ
ICE.
Example 1 :
If Δ PQR ≅ Δ STU which parts must have equal measurements?

These parts are equal because corresponding parts of


congruent triangles are congruent.
Postulates
To show that two triangles are
congruent, it is not necessary to show
that all six pairs of corresponding parts
are equal. The following postulates and
theorems are the most common methods
for proving that triangles are congruent
(or equal).
Postulate SSS
(SSS Postulate): If each side of one triangle is congruent to the
corresponding side of another triangle, then the triangles are
congruent .
Postulate SAS
(SAS Postulate): If two sides and the angle between them in one triangle are
congruent to the corresponding parts in another triangle, then the triangles
are congruent .
Postulate ASA
(ASA Postulate): If two angles and the side between them in one triangle
are congruent to the corresponding parts in another triangle, then the
triangles are congruent .
Thank you for the attention !
