Congruent Triangles Practice

Front

What are congruent triangles?

Back

Triangles that have the same size and shape, meaning their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

List the criteria for triangle congruence.

Back

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, which means if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, which means 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.

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, which means 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.

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, which means 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 HL stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

HL stands for Hypotenuse-Leg, which is a criterion for proving the congruence of right triangles based on the equality of the hypotenuse and one leg.

If ∆AaliyahNoah≅∆AdriannaTodd, what can we conclude about their corresponding parts?

Back

Aaliyah≅Adrianna, Noah≅Todd, and ∠Aaliyah≅∠Adrianna.

If AB≅XY in triangles ∆ABC and ∆XYZ, what can we say about the other sides?

Back

The corresponding sides and angles of the triangles are also congruent.
