Front

What does it mean for two angles to be congruent?

Back

Two angles are congruent if they have the same measure.

Front

If \( \Delta MAN \cong \Delta BOY \), what can we say about the sides?

Back

The corresponding sides of congruent triangles are equal in length.

Front

What is the SAS triangle congruence postulate?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side; it 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 triangles are congruent.

Front

What does the notation \( \overline{MA} \cong \overline{BO} \) indicate?

Back

It indicates that the line segment MA is congruent to the line segment BO.

Front

What is the ASA triangle congruence postulate?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle; it 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 triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the SSS triangle congruence postulate?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side; it states that if all three sides of one triangle are equal to all three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does it mean if \( \Delta CAT \cong \Delta DOG \)?

Back

It means that triangle CAT is congruent to triangle DOG, and all corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the significance of the symbol \( \cong \)?

Back

The symbol \( \cong \) indicates that two geometric figures are congruent.

Front

What is the difference between congruent triangles and similar triangles?

Back

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

Front

What does the term 'corresponding parts' refer to in triangle congruence?

Back

Corresponding parts refer to the sides and angles of congruent triangles that match each other.
