Congruent Triangle Proofs (Module 5 Review)

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

Angle-Side-Angle

Front

What is the SSA condition in triangle congruence?

Back

SSA stands for Side-Side-Angle, which is not a valid test for triangle congruence.

Front

What is the Reflexive Property in geometry?

Back

The Reflexive Property states that a geometric figure is congruent to itself.

Front

What are the three main criteria for triangle congruence?

Back

The three main criteria are SSS (Side-Side-Side), SAS (Side-Angle-Side), and ASA (Angle-Side-Angle).

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

Side-Side-Side

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

Side-Angle-Side

Front

What is the significance of congruent triangles in geometry?

Back

Congruent triangles have the same size and shape, which means their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

How can you prove two triangles are congruent using the ASA criterion?

Back

You need to show that two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding angles and side of the other triangle.

Front

What is the definition of congruent triangles?

Back

Triangles that are identical in shape and size, meaning all corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the importance of the included angle in the ASA criterion?

Back

The included angle is the angle between the two sides being considered, and it is crucial for establishing congruence.
