Question 319214: If two students are constructing equilateral triangles with one side of 4 inches, explain whether the triangles constructed must be congruent. Answer by nyc_function(2741) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 2 triangles and they are both equilateral, which means all 3 sides have the same unit measure.
The triangles are congruent by the Side, Side, Side Postulate.
If the three sides of a triangle are congruent to the three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
