What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a criterion for triangle congruence.

Front

What is the Exterior Angle Theorem?

Back

The Exterior Angle Theorem states that the measure of an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two non-adjacent interior angles.

Front

What is the SSS criterion for triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, which states that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the SAS criterion for triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, which states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the definition of congruent triangles?

Back

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

Front

If two angles of a triangle are equal, what can be said about the third angle?

Back

If two angles of a triangle are equal, the third angle is not necessarily a right angle; it can be acute or obtuse.

Front

What is the relationship between the angles in a triangle?

Back

The sum of the interior angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

Front

What is the definition of an exterior angle in a triangle?

Back

An exterior angle is formed by one side of a triangle and the extension of an adjacent side.

Front

How can you determine if two triangles are congruent using the SSS criterion?

Back

To determine if two triangles are congruent using the SSS criterion, measure all three sides of both triangles and check if they are equal.

Front

What is the significance of the Angle-Angle-Angle (AAA) criterion?

Back

The AAA criterion indicates that if two triangles have equal corresponding angles, they are similar, but not necessarily congruent.
