What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a postulate that states 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 is the congruence statement for triangles CRP and PRC?

Back

The congruence statement is PRC, indicating that triangle CRP is congruent to triangle PRC.

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a postulate that states if three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a postulate that states if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a postulate that states 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 a scalene triangle?

Back

A scalene triangle is a triangle with all sides of different lengths and all angles of different measures.

Front

What is an isosceles triangle?

Back

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with at least two sides of equal length and the angles opposite those sides are equal.

Front

What is an equilateral triangle?

Back

An equilateral triangle is a triangle with all three sides of equal length and all three angles measuring 60 degrees.

Front

What is the definition of congruent triangles?

Back

Congruent triangles are triangles that are identical in shape and size, meaning all corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the HL postulate in triangle congruence?

Back

The HL postulate stands for Hypotenuse-Leg, which 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.
