 What does congruent mean?

lines

 

Basically, the term congruent means that two or more things are the exact same size and shape.

All of the following triangles are congruent!

triangle 1 triangle 2 triangle 3
triangle 4

triangle 5

triangle 6

If we took any one of these triangles and flipped it over and/or rotated it, we'd be able to fit it right on top of any of the others!

So, when the rules of our problem state that we are looking for noncongruent triangles, it means that every triangle that we find must be a different size and shape from the others we've already found!
