What are congruent triangles?

Back

Congruent triangles are triangles that are identical in shape and size, meaning their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence stating that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a criterion for triangle congruence stating that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

What is the definition of corresponding sides in congruent triangles?

Back

Corresponding sides are the sides of two triangles that are in the same relative position. In congruent triangles, corresponding sides are equal in length.

What is the definition of corresponding angles in congruent triangles?

Back

Corresponding angles are the angles of two triangles that are in the same relative position. In congruent triangles, corresponding angles are equal in measure.

What does the term 'included angle' refer to in triangle congruence?

Back

The included angle is the angle formed between two sides of a triangle. It is crucial in the ASA criterion for triangle congruence.

What is the definition of the triangle congruence postulate?

Back

The triangle congruence postulate states that if certain conditions are met (like SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, or HL), then two triangles are congruent.

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence stating that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence stating that if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
