What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence where all three sides of one triangle are equal to the three sides of another triangle.

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a criterion for triangle congruence where two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle.

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence where two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle.

Front

What does SSA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSA stands for Side-Side-Angle, which does not guarantee triangle congruence.

Front

How do you calculate the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

Back

Area = 1/2 * base * height.

Front

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Back

In a right triangle, a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse.

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation is a transformation that moves every point of a shape the same distance in the same direction.

Front

What is the definition of a polygon?

Back

A polygon is a closed figure formed by a finite number of line segments.
