Triangle Congruence Criteria Practice

Front

Which is NOT a shortcut to prove triangles congruent?

Back

AAA (Angle-Angle-Angle) is not a valid triangle congruence criterion.

Front

Which of the following is NOT a triangle congruence criteria?

Back

SSA (Side-Side-Angle) is not a valid triangle congruence criterion.

Front

Are these triangles congruent? If so, state the criteria that was met to prove congruence: Two angles and the included side are known.

Back

Yes by ASA (Angle-Side-Angle).

Front

What are the five ways to prove triangles congruent?

Back

SSS (Side-Side-Side), ASA (Angle-Side-Angle), AAS (Angle-Angle-Side), SAS (Side-Angle-Side), HL (Hypotenuse-Leg).

Front

What does AAS stand for?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side.

Front

What does SAS stand for?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side.

Front

What does SSS stand for?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side.

Front

What does ASA stand for?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle.

Front

What does HL stand for?

Back

HL stands for Hypotenuse-Leg, used for right triangles.

Front

If two triangles have two pairs of corresponding angles that are equal, what can be concluded?

Back

The triangles are congruent by AAS or ASA.
