mLine 1:
Line 1: − + − ==Congruence of triangles==+ − Triangle can be proven [[congruence|congruent]] in the following ways: − − '''Side-Angle-Side (SAS)''': If two sides are equal and the included angle is equal to another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.<br> − '''Side-Side-Side (SSS)''': If three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.<br> − '''Angle-Side-Angle (ASA)''': If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal the ones of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.<br> − '''Angle-Angle-Side (AAS)''': If two angles and a side that is not included are equal to the ones of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.<br> − The SSA (Side-Side-Angle) cannot prove triangles congruent unless it is a right angle, where it is known as the HL (Hypotenuse-Leg) Theorem. AAA (Angle-Angle-Angle) cannot prove triangles congruent either. In [[hyperbolic geometry]], however, it does prove congruence. − ==See also== − *[[polygon]]

A '''triangle''' is a three-sided figure.
A '''triangle''' is a three-sided figure.
In [[Euclidean geometry]], each side of a triangle is perfectly straight, and the sum of the internal angles of a triangle is always 180º.

A [[right triangle]] has one 90º angle. Right triangles have special properties (see [[trigonometry]]).
