Thinking About How to Prove Triangles are Congruent - SSS

Given: and Prove:
See the two triangles
Click the red triangle in the toolbar above and use the polygon tool to shade one of the two triangles. You will need to click all three points and then click back on the point you started at (4 clicks total) Does it look congruent to the other triangle? Why or why not?
