Triangle Review

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

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

What is an isosceles triangle?

Back

An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has at least two sides of equal length.

How do you find the measure of an angle in a triangle?

Back

You can use the triangle sum theorem, which states that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.

Front

What is the smallest angle in a triangle?

Back

The smallest angle in a triangle is opposite the shortest side.

Front

What is the criteria for triangle congruence?

Back

The criteria for triangle congruence include 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 is the relationship between the sides and angles of a triangle?

Back

In a triangle, the larger the angle, the longer the opposite side; conversely, the smaller the angle, the shorter the opposite side.

Front

What is the formula for finding the area of a triangle?

Back

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula: Area = 1/2 * base * height.

Front

What is the significance of the angles in triangle congruence?

Back

The angles in triangle congruence help determine if two triangles are congruent based on their angle measures and the relationships between their sides.

Front

How can you determine if two triangles are congruent using side lengths?

Back

You can determine if two triangles are congruent by comparing the lengths of their corresponding sides using the SSS criterion.

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.
