If the three sides of a triangle are congruent to the three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Based on the diagram above, the theorem can be written as follows.
This proof will be developed based on the given diagram, but it is valid for any pair of triangles.
The points C and F′′ are on opposite sides of AB. Now, consider CF′. Let G denote the point of intersection between AB and CF′′.
It can be noted that AC=AF′′ and BC=BF′′. By the Converse Perpendicular Bisector Theorem, AB is a perpendicular bisector of CF′′. Points along the perpendicular bisector are equidistant from the endpoints of the segment, so CG=GF′′.
