Congruency
Congruency in math is a term applied to triangles, whereby congruency between two or more triangles
means that that the two or more triangles are identical in shape and size.

They are equal in every aspect. Each pair of corresponding sides and angles are equal.
Congruent Triangles are most notably depicted with the "≡" sign.

Congruency Tests
To determine if two triangles are congruent or not, we carry out these four tests.
1. SSS - Side, Side, Side

2. SAS - Side, Angle, Side

3. AAS - Angle, Angle, Side

4. RHS - Right Angle, Hypotenuse, Side
