What is financial infrastructure?

The network of banks, payment systems and stock markets that helps manage money

What are the main things a bank does?

Holds deposits and lends money as loans

How do banks make money?

They pay lower interest on deposits and charge higher interest on loans

Earning interest on previous interest as well as on the original amount

What does it mean for two figures to be congruent?

They have the same shape and size and can be superimposed exactly on each other.

State the SSS condition for congruence.

If the three sides of one triangle equal the three sides of another, the triangles are congruent.

State the SAS condition.

If two sides and the included angle are equal, the triangles are congruent.

State the ASA condition.

If two angles and the included side are equal, the triangles are congruent.

Does SSA guarantee congruence?

No — two non-congruent triangles can satisfy two sides and a non-included angle.

What is the RHS condition used for?

It guarantees congruence of right triangles from the right angle, hypotenuse and one side.

If \(\triangle ABC \cong \triangle XYZ\), which angle equals \(\angle B\)?

\(\angle B = \angle Y\), by the order of corresponding vertices.

Summary

This chapter is about congruence — figures that are exact copies of each other, having the same shape and size, so that one can be superimposed exactly on the other (after rotating or flipping if needed). The focus is on congruence of triangles and the minimum measurements needed to guarantee it. You discover four sufficient conditions for general triangles — SSS (three sides), SAS (two sides and the included angle), ASA (two angles and the included side) and AAS (two angles and a non-included side) — and one special condition for right triangles, RHS (right angle, hypotenuse and one side). Importantly, SSA (two sides and a non-included angle) does not guarantee congruence, since two different triangles can fit those measurements. The correct correspondence of vertices is written carefully, e.g. \(\triangle ABC \cong \triangle XYZ\). Congruence is then used as a tool to prove properties: in an isosceles triangle the angles opposite the equal sides are equal, and every angle of an equilateral triangle is \(60^\circ\).
