FLASHCARD QUESTION

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.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

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.

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 congruent to all three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does HL stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

HL stands for Hypotenuse-Leg, a theorem that states 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.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Can AAA be used to prove triangle congruence?

Back

No, AAA (Angle-Angle-Angle) cannot be used to prove triangle congruence because it only shows that the triangles are similar, not necessarily congruent.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If two triangles have two angles of one triangle equal to two angles of another triangle, what can be concluded?

Back

The triangles are similar by the AA (Angle-Angle) similarity postulate, but not necessarily congruent.
