The "SSS" (Side-Side-Side) criterion for similar triangles differs from triangles congruence in the following ways:
1. Similarity:
- In similar triangles, the corresponding angles are equal, and the corresponding sides are in proportion. This means that the shape of the triangles is the same, but their sizes may differ.
2. Scale Factor:
- For similar triangles, there is a scale factor that represents how much larger or smaller one triangle is compared to the other. This scale factor applies to all corresponding sides.
3. Congruence:
- Congruent triangles have exactly the same size and shape. All corresponding angles are equal, and all corresponding sides have the same length. Congruent triangles can be superimposed on each other.
In summary, while the "SSS" criterion can be used to show similarity between triangles based on proportional side lengths, congruence requires that all corresponding angles and sides are equal in length, resulting in identical triangles.
