Geometry: Congruent Triangles Congruent Triangles - Triangles that have the same size and shape. Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) - A congruence property that states if two angles and the non-included side of a triangle are congruent, respectively, to two angles and the non-included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Coherence (physics) Coherence (physics) In physics, two wave sources are perfectly coherent if they have a constant phase difference and the same frequency. Coherence is an ideal property of waves that enables stationary (i.e. temporally and spatially constant) interference.

- Singer, Eliot A. Certain scholars in anthropology and education have recently suggested as an approach to combat school failure for minority students the concept of cultural congruence--the idea that learning is best accomplished in classrooms compatible with the cultural context of the communities they are supposed to serve.

Congruence (geometry) In geometry, two figures or objects are congruent if they have the same shape and size, or if one has the same shape and size as the mirror image of the other. More formally, two sets of points are called congruent if, and only if, one can be transformed into the other by an isometry, i.e., a combination of rigid motions, namely a translation, a rotation, and a reflection. This means that either object can be repositioned and reflected so as to coincide precisely with the other object. So two di

Proofs Using Congruence The justifications (the right-hand column) can be definitions, postulates (axioms), properties of algebra, equality, or congruence, or previously proven theorems. Just as with our definitions, circularity is to be avoided! Historically, geometry and proof were virtually synonymous.

- Congruent triangles are triangles that have the same size and shape. This means that the corresponding sides are equal and the corresponding angles are equal. In the above diagrams, the corresponding sides are a and d; b and e ; c and f. The corresponding angles are x and s; y and t; z and u.

- Congruent Triangles. Introduction: We examine two triangles which are congruent because all corresponding angles and sides have the same measures. We discuss circumstances which guarantee that two triangles are congruent. Definition: Two triangles are said to be congruent if the corresponding angles and sides have the same measurements. This means that there are six corresponding parts with the same measurements. Under certain circumstances, it is only necessary to know that three corresponding parts have the same measures in order to guarantee that two triangles are congruent. We summarize these situations below without proof. SSS – Two triangles are congruent if all three sides have equal measures. 1  SAS – Two triangles are congruent if two sides and the included angle have the same measures. 2  ASA – Two triangles are congruent if two angles and the side between them have the same measures.

Importance of Information Systems in an Organization To gain the maximum benefits from your company's information system, you have to exploit all its capacities. Information systems gain their importance by processing the data from company inputs to generate information that is useful for managing your operations. To increase the information system's effectiveness, you can either add more data to make the information more accurate or use the information in new ways.

Reflexive Property of Congruence: Definition & Examples The reflexive property of congruence states that any geometric figure is congruent to itself. Congruence means the figure has the same size and shape. If you were comparing something to itself, then it would most definitely have the same size and shape.

Congruent Segments: Definition & Examples Congruent means equal. Congruent line segments are usually indicated by drawing the same amount of little tic lines in the middle of the segments, perpendicular to the segments. Congruent segments do not need to be parallel to each other; they do not need to be perpendicular, either.
