Geo 5.2 AAS, SAS, SSS, ASA

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence where all three sides of one triangle are equal to the three sides of another triangle.

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.

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

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

Front

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

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

Front

Which triangle congruence criterion is NOT valid?

Back

SSA (Side-Side-Angle) is not a valid criterion for proving triangle congruence.

Front

What is the Reflexive Property in the context of triangle congruence?

Back

The Reflexive Property states that a geometric figure is congruent to itself, which is often used to show that a side or angle is shared between two triangles.

Front

How can you prove two triangles are congruent using SSS?

Back

To prove two triangles are congruent using SSS, you must show that all three sides of one triangle are equal to the three sides of the other triangle.

Front

How can you prove two triangles are congruent using SAS?

Back

To prove two triangles are congruent using SAS, you must show that two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of the other triangle.

Front

How can you prove two triangles are congruent using ASA?

Back

To prove two triangles are congruent using ASA, you must show that two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of the other triangle.

Front

How can you prove two triangles are congruent using AAS?

Back

To prove two triangles are congruent using AAS, you must show that two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of the other triangle.
