What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence stating that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence stating that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a criterion for triangle congruence stating that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence stating 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, the triangles are congruent.

What does the term 'corresponding parts' refer to in congruent triangles?

Back

Corresponding parts refer to the sides and angles of congruent triangles that are in the same relative position.

Front

If two triangles are congruent, what can be said about their corresponding sides and angles?

Back

If two triangles are congruent, their corresponding sides are equal in length and their corresponding angles are equal in measure.

Front

What is the significance of the symbol '≅' in geometry?

Back

The symbol '≅' indicates that two geometric figures, such as triangles, are congruent.

How can you determine if two triangles are congruent using the SSS criterion?

Back

To determine if two triangles are congruent using the SSS criterion, measure the lengths of all three sides of each triangle and compare them. If all three pairs of sides are equal, the triangles are congruent.

Front

How can you determine if two triangles are congruent using the SAS criterion?

Back

To determine if two triangles are congruent using the SAS criterion, measure two sides and the included angle of each triangle. If the two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to the corresponding parts of the other triangle, they are congruent.

Front

How can you determine if two triangles are congruent using the ASA criterion?

Back

To determine if two triangles are congruent using the ASA criterion, measure two angles and the included side of each triangle. If the two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding parts of the other triangle, they are congruent.
