Overlapping Triangles Practice

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 Angle-Angle (AA) criterion for triangle similarity?

Back

If two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

Front

What does it mean for two angles to be congruent?

Back

Two angles are congruent if they have the same measure.

Front

What is the definition of a common side in overlapping triangles?

Back

A common side is a side that is shared by two overlapping triangles.

Front

What is the definition of corresponding angles in overlapping triangles?

Back

Corresponding angles are angles that are in the same relative position in two different triangles.

Front

What is the Side-Side-Side (SSS) criterion for triangle congruence?

Back

If three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) criterion for triangle congruence?

Back

If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) criterion for triangle congruence?

Back

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 purpose of labeling angles and sides in overlapping triangles?

Back

Labeling helps to identify corresponding parts and establish relationships between the triangles.

Front

What is the definition of a transversal in geometry?

Back

A transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines at distinct points.
