What is "Congruent" ... ?
It means that one shape can become another using Turns, Flips and/or Slides:
| Rotation |  | Turn! |
|---|---|---|
| Reflection |  | Flip! |
| Translation |  | Slide! |
Congruent Triangles
When two triangles are congruent they will have exactly the same three sides and exactly the same three angles.
The equal sides and angles may not be in the same position (if there is a turn or a flip), but they are there.
The equal sides and angles may not be in the same position (if there is a turn or a flip), but they are there.
