A triangle is a three-sided shape. There are different types of triangles classified by their angles and sides, including scalene, isosceles, equilateral, acute, right, and obtuse triangles. Two figures are congruent if they have the same shape and size, with congruence symbolized by a tilde. Line segments and angles are congruent if their lengths or measures are equal, and triangles are congruent if one can be placed directly on top of the other to overlap completely.
