What is the Reflexive Property in geometry?

Back

The Reflexive Property states that any geometric figure is congruent to itself.

Front

What is the SAS (Side-Angle-Side) Congruence Postulate?

Back

The SAS Postulate states that 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.

Front

What is the SSS (Side-Side-Side) Congruence Postulate?

Back

The SSS Postulate states that if three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

What is the ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Congruence Postulate?

Back

The ASA Postulate states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) Congruence Theorem?

Back

The AAS Theorem states that 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.
