-Two figures that have the same size and shape. -Two triangles are congruent if and only if their vertices can be matched up so that the corresponding parts (angles and sides) of the triangle are congruent. Vocabulary: Congruent
If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. Postulate 12 (SSS Postulate)
If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. Postulate 13 (SAS Postulate)
If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. Postulate 14 (ASA Postulate)
