U2 Triangle Congr Test Review MC only

Front

What does it mean for two triangles to be congruent?

Back

Two triangles are congruent if they have the same size and shape, which means their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the SSS (Side-Side-Side) Congruence Postulate?

Back

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

Front

What is the SAS (Side-Angle-Side) Congruence Postulate?

Back

The SAS Congruence Postulate 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 two triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Congruence Postulate?

Back

The ASA Congruence Postulate 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 two triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) Congruence Theorem?

Back

The AAS Congruence Theorem 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 two triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the definition of corresponding parts in congruent triangles?

Back

Corresponding parts in congruent triangles are the sides and angles that are in the same relative position in each triangle.

Front

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

Back

To determine if two triangles are congruent using the SSS postulate, measure the lengths of all three sides of each triangle and compare them. If all three pairs of sides are equal, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What additional information is needed to prove triangles are congruent using the ASA postulate?

Back

To prove triangles are congruent using the ASA postulate, you need to know two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle.

Front

What is the significance of the congruence symbol (≅)?

Back

The congruence symbol (≅) indicates that two geometric figures, such as triangles, are congruent, meaning they have the same shape and size.

Front

What does the term 'included angle' refer to in triangle congruence?

Back

The included angle in triangle congruence refers to the angle formed between two sides of a triangle.
