Topic Test 5 & 6 Review Part 2

Front

What does it mean for two triangles to be congruent?

Back

Two triangles are congruent if they have the same size and shape, meaning their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the SSS Congruence Theorem?

Back

The SSS (Side-Side-Side) Congruence Theorem states that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the SAS Congruence Theorem?

Back

The SAS (Side-Angle-Side) Congruence Theorem states that 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 ASA Congruence Theorem?

Back

The ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Congruence Theorem states that 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 AAS Congruence Theorem?

Back

The AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) Congruence Theorem states 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, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

How do you determine if three lengths can form a triangle?

Back

To determine if three lengths can form a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side (Triangle Inequality Theorem).

Front

What is a scalene triangle?

Back

A scalene triangle is a triangle in which all three sides have different lengths and all three angles have different measures.

Front

What is a right triangle?

Back

A right triangle is a triangle that has one angle measuring 90 degrees.

Front

What is the range of possible measures for the third side of a triangle with sides of lengths 8 and 12?

Back

Front

What is the definition of congruence in geometry?

Back

Congruence in geometry means that two figures have the same shape and size, allowing them to be superimposed on each other.
