congruent triangles
Identical three-sided figures
Congruent triangles are triangles identical in shape and size—their corresponding sides have equal lengths and their corresponding angles have equal measures.
In geometry, proving triangles congruent allows you to establish that other parts must also match.
Several shortcuts exist for proving congruence without measuring everything: side-angle-side, angle-side-angle, and others.
If these two triangles are congruent, then this side must equal that one.
