Step 1: Remember the SSS congruent theorem
DEFINITION: The SSS Theorem states that two triangles are congruent if
and only if the three sides of one triangle are congruent to the three sides
of the other triangle.
Step 2: Find the two triangles with three pairs of congruent sides. In the given figures.
EXAMPLE: IJ ≅ WX, HJ ≅ VW, and HI ≅ VX
Step 3: Conclude that the given triangles are congruent if the two triangles with three pairs of congruent sides
EXAMPLE: The three sides of △HIJ are congruent to the three sides of △VWX, so these triangles are congruent by the SSS Theorem.
