Question

the sss congruence theorem quick check
what does the sss congruence theorem say? (1 point)
if a triangle has three congruent sides, then it is equilateral
if two triangles have three pairs of congruent sides, then the triangles are congruent
if a polygon has three sides, then it is a triangle
if two triangles have three pairs of sides, then the triangles are congruent

Explanation:

The SSS (Side - Side - Side) Congruence Theorem is about the congruence of two triangles. It specifically states that when two triangles have all three pairs of their corresponding sides congruent, the triangles themselves are congruent. The first option is about an equilateral triangle (a property of a single triangle), the third option is about the definition of a triangle (not congruence), and the fourth option misses the key 'congruent sides' part.

Answer:

If two triangles have three pairs of congruent sides, then the triangles are congruent.
