What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side. It is a postulate that states 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 two triangles are congruent.

What is the SAS postulate?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side. It is a postulate that states if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the SSS postulate?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side. It is a postulate that states if all three sides of one triangle are congruent to all three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

What is the HL postulate?

Back

HL stands for Hypotenuse-Leg. It is a postulate that states if the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the difference between ASA and AAS?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, which requires two angles and the included side to be congruent. AAS requires two angles and a non-included side to be congruent. Both can be used to prove triangle congruence.

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

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 relationship between the angles in a triangle?

Back

The sum of the interior angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.
