Chapter 4 Triangle Congruence TEST

Front

What is Triangle Congruence?

Back

Triangle congruence refers to the condition where two triangles are identical in shape and size, meaning their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence where two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle.

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a criterion for triangle congruence where two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle.

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence where all three sides of one triangle are equal to the three sides of another triangle.

Front

What does HL stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

HL stands for Hypotenuse-Leg, a criterion for triangle congruence applicable to right triangles, where the hypotenuse and one leg of one triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one leg of another triangle.

Front

What is the Hypotenuse-Leg Theorem?

Back

The Hypotenuse-Leg Theorem states that if the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Front

How do you determine if two triangles are congruent using the SSS criterion?

Back

To determine if two triangles are congruent using the SSS criterion, measure all three sides of both triangles. If all corresponding sides are equal, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) criterion?

Back

The Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) criterion 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 triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the significance of corresponding angles in triangle congruence?

Back

Corresponding angles in triangle congruence are angles that occupy the same relative position in two similar or congruent triangles. If two triangles are congruent, their corresponding angles are equal.

Front

What is the significance of corresponding sides in triangle congruence?

Back

Corresponding sides in triangle congruence are sides that are in the same relative position in two triangles. If two triangles are congruent, their corresponding sides are equal in length.
