Congruency of triangles quick check
Answers

To quickly check the congruence of triangles, you can use the following criteria:
1. **Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence**: If all three sides of one triangle are equal to the corresponding three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
2. **Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Congruence**: If two sides of one triangle are equal to two sides of another triangle, and the included angle between those sides is equal, the triangles are congruent.
3. **Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Congruence**: If two angles and the side between them in one triangle are equal to the corresponding angles and side in another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
4. **Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) Congruence**: If two angles of one triangle and a non-included side are equal to the corresponding parts of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
5. **Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) Congruence** (specific to right triangles): If the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, the triangles are congruent.
### Quick Check Steps:
1. **Identify the given parts (sides and/or angles) of the triangles you are comparing.**
2. **Apply one of the congruence criteria listed above.**
3. **If any criterion is satisfied, the triangles are congruent. If none match, they are not congruent.**
