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.

What is the SSS postulate?

Back

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

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

What is the HL theorem?

Back

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

How do you simplify √119?

Back

√119 can be simplified to √(7*17), but it cannot be simplified further into a whole number.

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.

What is the significance of triangle congruence in geometry?

Back

Triangle congruence is significant because it allows us to determine that two triangles are the same in terms of size and shape, which is essential for solving many geometric problems.

What is the formula for finding the area of a triangle?

Back

The area of a triangle can be found using the formula: Area = 1/2 * base * height.

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Back

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a and b): a² + b² = c².
