TRIANGLE CONGRUENCE TEST

Front

What does the word CONGRUENT mean?

Back

The Same

Front

IF THESE TRIANGLES ARE CONGRUENT, WHAT THEOREM PROVES THIS?

Back

Theorems such as SSS, SAS, ASA, or AAS can prove triangle congruence.

Front

Name the postulate that makes the triangles congruent.

Back

SSS (Side Side Side) Postulate.

Front

What does SSS stand for?

Back

Side Side Side.

Front

What information is missing to determine if the triangles are congruent by HL?

Back

The length of one leg or the measure of the hypotenuse.

Front

What is the SAS postulate?

Back

If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does ASA stand for?

Back

Angle Side Angle.

Front

What is the AAS theorem?

Back

If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the HL theorem?

Back

The Hypotenuse-Leg theorem states that if the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the difference between congruent and similar triangles?

Back

Congruent triangles are identical in shape and size, while similar triangles have the same shape but may differ in size.
