What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a theorem used to prove that two triangles are congruent if two angles and the non-included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding parts of another triangle.

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a theorem used to prove that two triangles are congruent if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to the corresponding parts of another triangle.

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a theorem used to prove that two triangles are congruent if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding parts of another triangle.

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a theorem used to prove that two triangles are congruent if all three sides of one triangle are equal to the corresponding sides of another triangle.

Front

What is the Reflexive Property?

Back

The Reflexive Property states that any geometric figure is congruent to itself. For example, segment AB is congruent to segment AB.

Front

What are Vertical Angles?

Back

Vertical Angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines intersect. They are always congruent.

Front

What is the Definition of a Bisector?

Back

A bisector is a line, segment, or ray that divides an angle or segment into two equal parts.

Front

What are Alternate Interior Angles?

Back

Alternate Interior Angles are pairs of angles that are on opposite sides of a transversal and inside two parallel lines. They are congruent.

Front

What is the purpose of the AAS theorem?

Back

The AAS theorem is used to prove that two triangles are congruent based on two angles and a non-included side.

Front

What is the purpose of the SAS theorem?

Back

The SAS theorem is used to prove that two triangles are congruent based on two sides and the included angle.
