Side-Side-Side (SSS) Rule Side-Side-Side is a rule used to prove whether a given set of triangles are congruent. The SSS rule states that If three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. In the diagrams below, if AB = RP, BC = PQ and CA = QR, then triangle ABC is congruent to triangle RPQ. Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Rule Side-Angle-Side is a rule used to prove whether a given set of triangles are congruent. The SAS rule states that If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. An included angle is an angle formed by two given sides. Included Angle Non-included angle For the two triangles below, if AC = PQ, BC = PR and angle C = angle P , then using the SAS rule, triangle ABC is congruent to triangle QRP CPCT - stands for corresponding parts of congruent triangles. It means that if two triangles are congruent with any of SAS, ASA, SSS and RHS congruence rules then remaining angles and sides corresponding in both triangles are equal.Example:
