What is the relationship between the angles and sides of congruent triangles?

Back

In congruent triangles, corresponding angles are equal and corresponding sides are equal.

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

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

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a postulate that states 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 postulate that states 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.

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a postulate that states 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 is the AAA criterion in triangle congruence?

Back

AAA stands for Angle-Angle-Angle, which states that if three angles of one triangle are equal to three angles of another triangle, the triangles are similar, but not necessarily congruent.

Front

What is the significance of the corresponding parts of congruent triangles?

Back

The corresponding parts of congruent triangles are equal, which means that if two triangles are congruent, all their corresponding angles and sides are also equal.

Front

What is the definition of congruent triangles?

Back

Congruent triangles are triangles that are identical in shape and size, meaning all corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

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

Back

To determine if two triangles are congruent using the SSS postulate, measure all three sides of both triangles. If all three sides of one triangle are equal to the corresponding sides of the other triangle, they are congruent.

Front

What is the difference between congruence and similarity in triangles?

Back

Congruence means that triangles are identical in size and shape, while similarity means that triangles have the same shape but may differ in size.
