English: This diagram illustrates the geometric principle of angle-angle-side triangle congruence: Given triangle ABC and triangle A'B'C', triangle ABC is congruent with triangle A'B'C' if and only if angle CAB is congruent with C'A'B' and angle BCA is congruent with B'C'A' and BC is congruent with B'C'.
Construct the orthocenter of triangle and three midpoints (say A', B' C' ) between vertices and orthocenter. Construct a circumcircle of A'B'C' . This is the nine-point circle , it intersects each side of the original triangle at two points: the base of altitude and midpoint.
The two triangles on the left are congruent. The third is similar to them. The last triangle is neither congruent nor similar to any of the others. Congruence permits alteration of some properties, such as location and orientation, but leaves others unchanged, like distances and angles.
Congruence [ edit ] If A , B are two points on a line a , and if A ′ is a point upon the same or another line a ′, then, upon a given side of A ′ on the straight line a ′, we can always find a point B ′ so that the segment AB is congruent to the segment A ′ B ′.
The shape and size of a triangle can be uniquely determined up to congruence by specifying the lengths of two sides and the angle between them (SAS) or two angles and the side between them (ASA). Specifying two angles and an adjacent side (AAS) also works, but specifying two sides and an adjacent angle (SSA) usually gives two different possible ...
The orange and green quadrilaterals are congruent; the blue one is not congruent to them. Congruence between the orange and green ones is established in that side BC corresponds to (in this case of congruence, equals in length) JK, CD corresponds to KL, DA corresponds to LI, and AB corresponds to IJ, while angle ∠C corresponds to (equals) angle ∠K, ∠D corresponds to ∠L, ∠A ...

Let l, m, n be integers greater than or equal to 2. A triangle group Δ(l,m,n) is a group of motions of the Euclidean plane, the two-dimensional sphere, the real projective plane, or the hyperbolic plane generated by the reflections in the sides of a triangle with angles π/l, π/m and π/n (measured in radians).
