shape & space : triangle congruency
 

 

 

Definition of congruency

A triangle (or indeed any two dimensional shape) is deemed congruent to another if it has the same shape and the same size.

The second triangle can be rotated, reflected or translated in any way.

The first triangle must be able to fit over the second triangle exactly.
