Triangle Congruence Practice

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

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

Front

What is the SAS criterion for triangle congruence?

Back

The SAS criterion 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 have the same size and shape, meaning their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the purpose of triangle congruence theorems?

Back

Triangle congruence theorems are used to determine whether two triangles are congruent based on specific criteria.

Front

List the main triangle congruence theorems.

Back

The main triangle congruence theorems are: SSS (Side-Side-Side), SAS (Side-Angle-Side), ASA (Angle-Side-Angle), AAS (Angle-Angle-Side), and HL (Hypotenuse-Leg for right triangles).

Front

What does the ASA criterion for triangle congruence state?

Back

The ASA criterion states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the AAS criterion for triangle congruence?

Back

The AAS criterion states 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, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the SSS criterion for triangle congruence?

Back

The SSS criterion states that if all three sides of one triangle are equal to all three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the HL criterion for triangle congruence?

Back

The HL criterion states that if the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

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

Back

To determine if two triangles are congruent using the SAS criterion, check if two sides of one triangle are equal to two sides of the other triangle and that the included angle between those sides is also equal.
