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

Front

Which triangle congruence method is not valid?

Back

SSA (Side-Side-Angle) is not a valid method to prove triangle congruence.

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 equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

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

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 AAS postulate?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a postulate that states 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 triangles are congruent.

Front

Can two triangles be congruent if only two sides are known?

Back

Not necessarily; knowing only two sides (SSA) does not guarantee congruence.

Front

What is the significance of the included angle in SAS?

Back

In SAS, the included angle is the angle between the two sides being compared, which is crucial for establishing congruence.

Front

How can you prove triangles are congruent using SSS?

Back

To prove triangles are congruent using SSS, you must show that all three corresponding sides of the triangles are equal.

Front

What is the difference between ASA and AAS?

Back

ASA requires the included side between two angles to be known, while AAS allows for a non-included side to be known.
