Geometry EOC Review - Congruence and Proofs

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in the same position on different parallel lines cut by a transversal. They are equal in measure.

What is the Reflexive Property?

Back

The Reflexive Property states that any geometric figure is congruent to itself. For example, segment AB is congruent to segment AB.

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.

What is the AAS congruence criterion?

Back

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

What is the SSS congruence criterion?

Back

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

What are vertical angles?

Back

Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines intersect. They are always equal in measure.

What is the Transitive Property?

Back

The Transitive Property states that if one quantity equals a second quantity, and the second quantity equals a third quantity, then the first quantity equals the third. For example, if a = b and b = c, then a = c.

What is the difference between alternate interior and alternate exterior angles?

Back

Alternate interior angles are on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the parallel lines, while alternate exterior angles are on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the parallel lines.

How do you prove triangles are congruent using the ASA criterion?

Back

To prove triangles are congruent using the ASA criterion, show that two angles and the side between them in one triangle are equal to two angles and the side between them in another triangle.
