Unit 2 - Similarity and Congruence
Essential Questions:
-What does it mean for two figures (triangles) to be similar?
- What does it mean for two figures (triangles) to be congruent?
· How do the SSS, SAS, and ASA congruence criteria follow from the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions?
· What can you conclude about two triangles that are congruent?
· How do you use congruence criteria in proofs and to solve problems?
· What can you say about the sum of the angle measure in a triangle?
· What must be true about the segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle?
· How do you construct a circle that circumscribes a triangle?
