Procedure

1) Drag points A, B and C in ABC below. Observe the behavior of ∆DEF. Try to make the two triangles have different shapes. 2) After moving the points around, click inside one of the triangles and drag it on top of the other. 3) Try to make the two triangles completely overlap. (Hint: start by trying to match up one pair of vertices) 4) Finish by answering the questions below.

Complete the following: If two triangles are congruent, then they have the same ____________ and ______________

Were you ever able NOT to get the two triangles to completely overlap?

Бүх хариултаа тэмдэглэнэ үү

A
No, they always overlapped no matter how I moved points A, B and C.
B
Yes, I was able to make two triangles that could not be made to overlap

Which of the following sentences do you think best summarizes what you observed in this exercise?

Бүх хариултаа тэмдэглэнэ үү

A
If three angles of one triangle are congruent to three angles of another triangle, then the two triangles will always be congruent.
B
If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles will always be congruent
C
If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle then the two triangles will always be congruent.
D
If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle then the triangles will not necessarily always be congruent.
