This document discusses congruence of triangles in mathematics. It defines congruence as two shapes being equal in shape, size, and area or coinciding exactly when placed on top of each other. There are five criteria for triangle congruence: side-side-side (SSS), side-angle-side (SAS), angle-angle-side (AAS), angle-side-angle (ASA), and right-angle-hypotenuse-side (RHS). Each rule states that if the given sides or angles are equal, then the triangles are congruent. Examples are provided to illustrate each rule.
