Geo 5.2 AAS, SAS, SSS, ASA

Front

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a postulate used to prove triangles are congruent.

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a postulate used to prove triangles are congruent.

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a postulate used to prove triangles are congruent.

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a postulate used to prove triangles are congruent.

Front

Which triangle congruence postulate is NOT valid?

Back

SSA (Side-Side-Angle) is not a valid postulate for proving triangle congruence.

Front

If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, what can be concluded?

Back

The triangles are congruent by the ASA postulate.

Front

If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and a non-included side of another triangle, what can be concluded?

Back

The triangles are congruent by the AAS postulate.

Front

What is the significance of congruent triangles in geometry?

Back

Congruent triangles have the same size and shape, which means their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

How can you prove triangles are congruent using the SSS postulate?

Back

If all three sides of one triangle are equal to all three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the difference between AAS and ASA?

Back

AAS involves two angles and a non-included side, while ASA involves two angles and the included side.
