Two triangles have sides {a, b, c} and {a, b, c} but one is the mirror image (flipped) of the other.
Are they still congruent under SSS?

Class 9SSS and RHS CongruenceGeometry — Triangles
  • AYes, congruence allows reflections
  • BNo, mirror images are never congruent
  • COnly if the triangle is equilateral
  • DOnly if a = b = c

Step-by-Step Solution

Congruence permits rigid motions including reflection. Equal three sides still give SSS congruence even if one is flipped.
Answer: A) Yes, congruence allows reflections
