Topic 5 Practice A

Front

What is the length of segment PQ if it is given as 5?

Back

PQ = 5

Front

What postulate can be used to prove two triangles are congruent?

Back

SSS, ASA, AAS, or Not Possible.

Front

If YW is the perpendicular bisector of XZ, can triangle YWX be congruent to triangle YWZ? If so, how?

Back

Yes, by SAS (Side-Angle-Side) congruence.

Front

Find x if the equation is given as x = 16.

Back

x = 16

Front

What is the length of segment AD if it is given as 4?

Back

AD = 4

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

Side-Side-Side: If three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

Angle-Side-Angle: If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

Angle-Angle-Side: If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and a non-included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the definition of a perpendicular bisector?

Back

A line that divides a segment into two equal parts at a 90-degree angle.

Front

What is the relationship between congruent triangles?

Back

Congruent triangles have the same size and shape; their corresponding sides and angles are equal.
