6. Types of Triangles
 Equilateral triangle: A triangle with
three congruent (equal) sides and
three equal angles.
These marks indicate equality.

7. Types of Triangles
 Isosceles triangle: A triangle with
at least two congruent (equal) sides.

8. Types of Triangles
 Scalene triangle: A triangle that
has no congruent (equal) sides.

9.  Acute Angled Triangles: Has all
angles more than (0 degree) and less
than (90 degree).
Types of Triangles

10. Types of Triangles
 Right triangle: Has only one right
angle (90 degrees).
This box indicates a right
angle or a 90-degree angle.

11.  Obtuse Angled Triangles: Has one
angles more than (90 degree) and
less than (180 degree).
Types of Triangles
One angle greater than 90
And less than 180 degree

13. Congruence triangles are triangles that have the
same shape and the same size.

When we say that triangles are congruent there are

14. 1. SSS Congruency Theorem
 3 pairs of congruent sides
Six of those statements are true as a result of the
congruency of the two triangles. However, if we need
to prove that a pair of triangles are congruent, how
many of those statements do we need? Because we are
working with triangles and the measure of the angles
and sides are dependent on each other. We do not
need all six. There are three special combinations that
we can use to prove congruency of triangles.
2. SAS Congruency Theorem
 2 pairs of congruent sides and congruent
angles between them
3. ASA Congruency Theorem
 2 pairs of congruent angles and a pair of
congruent sides

17. The SAS Congruency Theorem does not work unless
the congruent angles fall between the congruent
sides. For example, if we have the situation that is
shown in the diagram below, we cannot state that the
triangles are congruent. We do not have the
information that we need.
