This educational resource covers the definition and properties of congruent triangles, focusing on the Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence Postulate. It explains that if three sides and three angles of a triangle are equal to those of another triangle, the two triangles are congruent. The content includes exercises for identifying corresponding angles and sides, along with proofs of triangle congruence using given definitions and properties. This guide serves as an essential tool for students studying geometry and understanding triangle relationships.
