Two shapes are congruent if they are identical in every way – all corresponding sides are the same length, and all corresponding angles are identical. If you have tried the Similarity (F) quiz you might recognise some… well, similarities. Recall that two shapes are similar if their corresponding angles are equal, and corresponding sides are in the same ratio.

Shapes can be congruent to each other even if one of them has been reflected or rotated, so don’t get caught out by that little trick!

Triangles are a common shape to come up in questions on congruency, and there are 4 different ways to show it. You need to be familiar with each of them.
