Front

What is the SSS (Side-Side-Side) Congruence Postulate?

Back

The SSS Congruence Postulate states that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Front

If two angles are equal, what can be said about the triangles formed by those angles?

Back

If two angles are equal, the triangles formed by those angles are similar by the Angle-Angle (AA) similarity postulate.

Front

What does it mean for two lines to be skew?

Back

Two lines are skew if they are not parallel and do not intersect, existing in different planes.

Front

How do you find the coordinates of a point in a coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinates of a point are given as (x, y), where 'x' is the horizontal distance from the origin and 'y' is the vertical distance from the origin.

Front

What is the definition of parallel lines?

Back

Parallel lines are lines in a plane that never meet; they are always the same distance apart.

Front

What is the relationship between perpendicular lines?

Back

Perpendicular lines intersect at a right angle (90 degrees).

Front

What is the definition of congruent segments?

Back

Congruent segments are segments that have the same length.

What is the distance formula in a coordinate plane?

Front

What is the definition of a triangle?

Back

A triangle is a polygon with three edges and three vertices.
