What does HL stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

HL stands for Hypotenuse-Leg, a theorem used to prove the congruence of right triangles.

Front

What is the SAS Congruence Postulate?

Back

The SAS (Side-Angle-Side) 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 SSS Congruence Postulate?

Back

The SSS (Side-Side-Side) 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 ASA Congruence Postulate?

Back

The ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) 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 Congruence Postulate?

Back

The AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) Congruence Postulate 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.

How do you write the Pythagorean theorem?

Back

Front

What is the formula to find the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle?

Back

Front

What is the definition of congruent triangles?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the included angle in triangle congruence?

Back

The included angle is the angle formed between two sides of a triangle, and it is crucial in the SAS postulate for establishing triangle congruence.

Front

What does it mean if two triangles are not congruent?

Back

If two triangles are not congruent, it means that they do not have the same size and shape; their corresponding sides and angles are not equal.
