Text of the page (random words):
o triangles on the left are congruent while the third is similar to them the last triangle is neither congruent nor similar to any of the others congruence permits alteration of some properties such as location and orientation but leaves others unchanged like distances and angles the unchanged properties are called invariants in geometry two figures or objects are congruent if they have the same shape and size or if one has the same shape and size as the mirror image of the other 1 more formally two sets of points are called congruent if and only if one can be transformed into the other by an isometry i e a combination of rigid motions namely a translation a rotation and a reflection this means that either object can be repositioned and reflected but not resized so as to coincide precisely with the other object so two distinct plane figures on a piece of paper are congruent if we can cut them out and then match them up completely turning the paper over is permitted this diagram illustrates the geometric principle of angle angle side triangle congruence given triangle abc and triangle a b c triangle abc is congruent with triangle a b c if and only if angle cab is congruent with angle c a b and angle abc is congruent with angle a b c and bc is congruent with b c note hatch marks are used here to show angle and side equalities in elementary geometry the word congruent is often used as follows 2 the word equal is often used in place of congruent for these objects two line segments are congruent if they have the same length two angles are congruent if they have the same measure two circles are congruent if they have the same diameter in this sense two plane figures are congruent implies that their corresponding characteristics are congruent or equal including not just their corresponding sides and angles but also their corresponding diagonals perimeters and areas the related concept of similarity applies if the objects have the same shape but do not necessarily have the same size most definitions consider congruence to be a form of similarity although a minority require that the objects have different sizes in order to qualify as similar contents

congruent conic sections 5 congruent polyhedra 6 congruent triangles on a sphere 7 notation 8 see also 9 references 10 external links determining congruence of polygons the orange and green quadrilaterals are congruent the blue is not congruent to them all three have the same perimeter and area the ordering of the sides of the blue quadrilateral is mixed which results in two of the interior angles and one of the diagonals not being congruent for two polygons to be congruent they must have an equal number of sides and hence an equal number the same number of vertices two polygons with n sides are congruent if and only if they each have numerically identical sequences even if clockwise for one polygon and counterclockwise for the other side angle side angle for n sides and n angles congruence of polygons can be established graphically as follows first match and label the corresponding vertices of the two figures second draw a vector from one of the vertices of the one of the figures to the corresponding vertex of the other figure translate the first figure by this vector so that these two vertices match third rotate the translated figure about the matched vertex until one pair of corresponding sides matches fourth reflect the rotated figure about this matched side until the figures match if at any time the step cannot be completed the polygons are not congruent congruence of triangles see also solution of triangles two triangles are congruent if their corresponding sides are equal in length and their corresponding angles are equal in measure symbolically we write the congruency and incongruency of two triangles abc and a b c as follows a b c a b c displaystyle abc cong a b c a b c a b c displaystyle abc ncong a b c in many cases it is sufficient to establish the equality of three corresponding parts and use one of the following results to deduce the congruence of the two triangles the shape of a triangle is determined up to congruence by specifying two sides and the angle between them sas two angles and the side between them asa or two angles and a corresponding adjacent side aas specifying two sides and an adjacent angle ssa however can yield two distinct possible triangles determining congruence sufficient evidence for congruence between two triangles in euclidean space can be shown through the following comparisons sas side angle side if two pairs of sides of two triangles are equal in length and the included angles are equal in measurement then the triangles are congruent sss side side side if three pairs of sides of two triangles are equal in length then the triangles are congruent asa angle side angle if two pairs of angles of two triangles are equal in measurement and the included sides are equal in length then the triangles are congruent the asa postulate was contributed by thales of miletus greek in most systems of axioms the three criteria sas sss and asa are established as theorems in the school mathematics study group system sas is taken as one 15 of 22 postulates aas angle angle side if two pairs of angles of two triangles are equal in measurement and a pair of corresponding non included sides are equal in length then the triangles are congruent aas is equivalent to an asa condition by the fact that if any two angles are given so is the third angle since their sum should be 180 asa and aas are sometimes combined into a single condition aacorrs any two angles and a corresponding side 3 rhs right angle hypotenuse side also known as hl hypotenuse leg if two right angled triangles have their hypotenuses equal in length and a pair of other sides are equal in length then the triangles are congruent side side angle the ssa condition side side angle which specifies two sides and a non included angle also known as ass or angle side side does not by itself prove congruence in order to show congruence additional information is required such as the measure of the corresponding angles and in some cases the lengths of the two pairs of corresponding sides there are a few possible cases if two triangles satisfy the ssa condition and the length of the side opposite the angle is greater than or equal to the length of the adjacent side ssa or long side short side angle then the two triangles are congruent the opposite side is sometimes longer when the corresponding angles are acute but it is always longer when the corresponding angles are right or obtuse where the angle is a right angle also known as the hypotenuse leg hl postulate or the right angle hypotenuse side rhs condition the third side can be calculated using the pythagorean theorem thus allowing the sss postulate to be applied if two triangles satisfy the ssa condition and the corresponding angles are acute and the length of the side opposite the angle is equal to the length of the adjacent side multiplied by the sine of the angle then the two triangles are congruent if two triangles satisfy the ssa condition and the corresponding angles are acute and the length of the side opposite the angle is greater than the length of the adjacent side multiplied by the sine of the angle but less than the length of the adjacent side then the two triangles cannot be shown to be congruent this is the ambiguous case and two different triangles can be formed from the given information but further information distinguishing them can lead to a proof of congruence angle angle angle in euclidean geometry aaa angle angle angle or just aa since in euclidean geometry the angles of a triangle add up to 180 does not provide information regarding the size of the two triangles and hence proves only similarity and not congruence in euclidean space however in spherical geometry and hyperbolic geometry where the sum of the angles of a triangle varies with size aaa is sufficient for congruence on a given curvature of surface 4 cpctc this acronym stands for corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent which is an abbreviated version of the definition of congruent triangles 5 6 in more detail it is a succinct way to say that if triangles abc and def are congruent that is a b c d e f displaystyle triangle abc cong triangle def with corresponding pairs of angles at vertices a and d b and e and c and f and with corresponding pairs of sides ab and de bc and ef and ca and fd then the following statements are true a b d e displaystyle overline ab cong overline de b c e f displaystyle overline bc cong overline ef a c d f displaystyle overline ac cong overline df b a c e d f displaystyle angle bac cong angle edf a b c d e f displaystyle angle abc cong angle def b c a e f d displaystyle angle bca cong angle efd the statement is often used as a justification in elementary geometry proofs when a conclusion of the congruence of parts of two triangles is needed after the congruence of the triangles has been established for example if two triangles have been shown to be congruent by the sss criteria and a statement that corresponding angles are congruent is needed in a proof then cpctc may be used as a justification of this statement a related theorem is cpcfc in which triangles is replaced with figures so that the theorem applies to any pair of polygons or polyhedrons that are congruent definition of congruence in analytic geometry in a euclidean system congruence is fundamental it is the counterpart of equality for numbers in analytic geometry congruence may be defined intuitively thus two mappings of figures onto one cartesian coordinate system are congruent if and only if for any two points in the first mapping the euclidean distance between them is equal to the euclidean distance between the corresponding points in the second mapping a more formal definition states that two subsets a and b of euclidean space r n are called congruent if there exists an isometry f r n r n an element of the euclidean group e n with f a b congruence is an equivalence relation congruent conic sections two conic sections are congruent if their eccentricities and one other distinct parameter characterizing them are equal their eccentricities establish their shapes equality of which is sufficient to establish similarity and the second parameter then establishes size since two circles parabolas or rectangular hyperbolas always have the same eccentricity specifically 0 in the case of circles 1 in the case of parabolas and 2 displaystyle sqrt 2 in the case of rectangular hyperbolas two circles parabolas or rectangular hyperbolas need to have only one other common parameter value establishing their size for them to be congruent congruent polyhedra for two polyhedra with the same combinatorial type that is the same number e of edges the same number of faces and the same number of sides on corresponding faces there exists a set of e measurements that can establish whether or not the polyhedra are congruent 7 8 the number is tight meaning that less than e measurements are not enough if the polyhedra are generic among their combinatorial type but less measurements can work for special cases for example cubes have 12 edges but 9 measurements are enough to decide if a polyhedron of that combinatorial type is congruent to a given regular cube congruent triangles on a sphere main articles solving triangles solving spherical triangles and spherical trigonometry solution of triangles as with plane triangles on a sphere two triangles sharing the same sequence of angle side angle asa are necessarily congruent that is they have three identical sides and three identical angles 9 this can be seen as follows one can situate one of the vertices with a given angle at the south pole and run the side with given length up the prime meridian knowing both angles at either end of the segment of fixed length ensures that the other two sides emanate with a uniquely determined trajectory and thus will meet each other at a uniquely determined point thus asa is valid the congruence theorems side angle side sas and side side side sss also hold on a sphere in addition if two spherical triangles have an identical angle angle angle aaa sequence they are congruent unlike for plane triangles 9 the plane triangle congruence theorem angle angle side aas does not hold for spherical triangles 10 as in plane geometry side side angle ssa does not imply congruence notation a symbol commonly used for congruence is an equals symbol with a tilde above it corresponding to the unicode character approximately equal to u 2245
