Determine which congruence statement, if any, can be used to show that [math]\triangle{\it ABC}[/math] and [math]\triangle{\it DEF}[/math] are congruent. [i]Note[/i]: Drag points [math]A[/math], [math]B[/math], and [math]C[/math] to try different figures. Drag point [math]D[/math] to move the second figure.
[list=1] [*]Determine which components of the triangles are congruent. [*]Determine if this information is enough to state that all six corresponding parts of the two triangles are congruent. [*]Summarize your findings. [/list] This applet is provided by Walch Education as supplemental material for their mathematics programs.
