(GEO) 4.1-4.3 Review

Front

What does the congruency statement \( \angle F = \angle G \) imply?

Back

It implies that angle F is congruent to angle G.

Front

What is the SSS postulate in triangle congruence?

Back

The SSS (Side-Side-Side) postulate states that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does the ASA postulate stand for?

Back

The ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) postulate states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the AAS postulate in triangle congruence?

Back

The AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) postulate 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 does it mean if two angles are not congruent?

Back

It means that the angles do not have the same measure.

Front

What is the definition of congruent triangles?

Back

Congruent triangles are triangles that are identical in shape and size, meaning their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the significance of the congruency statement \( \overline{AB} \cong \overline{LM} \)?

Back

It indicates that line segment AB is congruent to line segment LM, meaning they have the same length.

Front

What is the definition of the SSS postulate?

Back

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

Front

What does the term 'not possible' indicate in triangle congruence?

Back

It indicates that there is insufficient information to determine if the triangles are congruent.

Front

How can you determine if two triangles are congruent?

Back

You can determine if two triangles are congruent by using congruence postulates such as SSS, SAS, ASA, or AAS.
