How many facts does it take to make triangles congruent? Only 3 if they are the right three and the parts are  located in the right place.

SAS where 2 sides make up one of the three angles of a triangle. The angle must between the 2 sides.

ASA where the S (side) is common to both the two given angles.

SSS where all three sides of one triangle are the same as all three sides of a second triangle. This one is my favorite. It has no exceptions.

In one very special case, you need only 2 facts, but that case is very special and it really is one of the cases above.

If you are working with a right angle triangle, you can get away with being given the hypotenuse and one of the sides. So you only need 2 facts. It is called the HL theorem. But that is a special case of SSS. The third side can be found from a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

You can also use the two sides making up the right angle but that is a special case of SAS.

Answer

There 6 parts to every triangle: 3 sides and 3 angles. If you show congruency, using any of the 3 facts above, you can conclude that the other 3 parts of the triangle are congruent as well as the three that you have.

Geometry is built on that wonderfully simple premise and it is your introduction to what makes a proof. So it's important that you understand how proving parts of congruent triangles work.

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Group like terms 6y-2y= 2-1-2

When a number goes over the equal sign= positive + changes to negative, vice versa.

So final answer is 4y= -1= -4y
