SSS Congruence Postulate Explained

The document explains the Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence Postulate, which states that if three sides of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. It includes examples and exercises to illustrate the concept, as well as definitions related to triangles and congruence. The document is prepared by Rose Marie C. Donquillo and aims to teach triangle congruence through interactive learning.
