Geometry: Congruent Triangles Partner Practice HW1-2

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 the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle.

Front

What is the SAS criterion for 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 congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle.

Front

Define ASA in the context of 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 congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle.

Front

What does SSS mean in triangle congruence?

Back

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

Front

What is the HL theorem in triangle congruence?

Back

HL stands for Hypotenuse-Leg, a criterion for triangle congruence applicable to right triangles, stating that if the hypotenuse and one leg of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

How can you determine if two triangles are congruent?

Back

You can determine if two triangles are congruent by using congruence criteria such as SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, or HL.

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, allowing for various applications in proofs and real-world problems.

Front

What does it mean if two angles are congruent?

Back

If two angles are congruent, it means they have the same measure in degrees or radians.
