Geo - Unit 5.4 HW - Proving Triangles

Front

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a method to prove triangles are congruent by showing two angles and a non-included side are equal.

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a method to prove triangles are congruent by showing two sides and the included angle are equal.

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a method to prove triangles are congruent by showing all three sides are equal.

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a method to prove triangles are congruent by showing two angles and the included side are equal.

Front

What does HL stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

HL stands for Hypotenuse-Leg, a method to prove right triangles are congruent by showing the hypotenuse and one leg are equal.

Front

What is the criteria for two triangles to be congruent using AAS?

Back

Two triangles are congruent using AAS if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding parts of another triangle.

Front

What is the criteria for two triangles to be congruent using SAS?

Back

Two triangles are congruent using SAS if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to the corresponding parts of another triangle.

Front

What is the criteria for two triangles to be congruent using SSS?

Back

Two triangles are congruent using SSS if all three sides of one triangle are equal to the corresponding sides of another triangle.

Front

What is the criteria for two triangles to be congruent using ASA?

Back

Two triangles are congruent using ASA if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding parts of another triangle.

Front

What is the criteria for two right triangles to be congruent using HL?

Back

Two right triangles are congruent using HL if the hypotenuse and one leg of one triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one leg of another triangle.
