In summary, when working with congruent triangles, remember to:
- Mark any given information on your diagram.
- Look to see if the pieces you need are "parts" of the triangles that can be proven congruent.
- If not given all needed pieces to prove the triangles congruent, look to see what else you might know about the diagram.
- Know your definitions! If the given information contains definitions, consider these as "hints" to the solution and be sure to use them.
- Stay open-minded. There may be more than one way to solve a problem.
- Look to see if your triangles "share" parts. These common parts are automatically one set of congruent parts.
