Review on Triangle Congruency

Shortcuts in Triangle Congruency We learned that two polygons were congruent if EACH corresponding pair of angles were congruent AND each pair of corresponding sides were congruent. Remember that you had to LIST EACH PAIR? Yikes! That could get very long and tedious (tiring).

That’s why… ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
