Die Kongruenzsaetze fuer Dreiecke kennen und anwenden

German to English Science Mathematics & Statistics Kongruenzsatz
Liebe tolle Uebersetzer!

Was soll die englische Uebersetzung fuer die Kongruenzsaetze sein?

Soweit ich weiss, ist der Kongruenzsatz Aussage in der ebenen Geometrie anhand derer sich einfach die Kongruenz von Dreiecken nachweisen lässt.

@philgoddard: I would say that members are free to post answers even if you think that it's identical to yours.

1) I did not see your answer: In fact, I though that you copied from me
after changing apply to use.. but you are free in doing that.

2) I will not argues about the difference between apply and use... That's something I know as a result of my training.. so I cannot do that kind of explanation...

3) It's up to the asker and the other members to be the judge... right?

Thank you, Doctor.
neutral philgoddard : I did actually correct my error before you posted this.//Use and apply are synonyms.

I did not know that you did it before I posted this..but the point is I am not translating it as "use"... I am translating it as "apply".. because this is what I have seen used in my 40 years of academic career... "apply" is not the same as "use".
agree Nils Andersson : Of course. What else?

Thank you, Nils.

Thank you, Horst. I felt the same way...
neutral Andrew Bramhall : @NILS- What else? perhaps capitalisation of proper nouns?@PHIL- use/apply synonyms? My car uses gas/my car applies gas, for example? Neither transitively nor intransitively are they complete synonyms.

disagree philgoddard : "Sätze" is plural, and it's theorem (ie a proven rule), not an unproven theory.

You're right, but it's still not as big a mistake as anwenden= understand, then compounding it with a second mistranslation.
disagree Sabine Akabayov, PhD : agree with phil//Why should it lead to trouble? You offered a wrong translation of "Satz". Are you threatening me?
14 mins
No, no threat. But you lost face in my eyes for agreeing to another wrong translation, and I admitted my mistake, whereas Phil compounded his initial mistake by confusing 'anwenden' with 'verwenden', confiming your disagree was a sympathy vote to Phil..

Sorry, I meant "use", not "understand".

As implied by the faulty development of Euclid on this score, the proof of these triangle congruence theorems is more involved than the proofs we expect you to...
