Core Topics At a Glance

### 📌 Congruence of triangles review Two triangles are congruent if they are copies of each other, meaning all corresponding sides and corresponding angles are equal. Congruent figures can be superimposed on each other.

### 📌 Criteria for congruence: SAS, ASA, SSS, RHS, AAS Triangles are proved congruent using specific criteria: SAS (Side-Angle-Side), ASA (Angle-Side-Angle), SSS (Side-Side-Side), AAS (Angle-Angle-Side), and RHS (Right angle-Hypotenuse-Side).

### 📌 Properties of a triangle: angles opposite to equal sides In an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite to the equal sides are equal. Conversely, the sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle are also equal.

### 📌 Inequalities in a triangle proofs Triangle inequality theorems state that: 1) the side opposite to the larger angle is longer, 2) the angle opposite to the longer side is larger, and 3) the sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.

Key Formulas Mind Map

• Triangle Inequality: `a + b > c` - Sum of lengths of any two sides of a triangle must exceed length of third side....
