Triangle Congruence Practice Flashcardizz

Front

What does it mean for two triangles to be congruent?

Back

Two triangles are congruent if they have the same size and shape, meaning all corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the Angle Congruence Theorem?

Back

The Angle Congruence Theorem states that if two angles are congruent to the same angle, then they are congruent to each other.

Front

What is the Vertical Angle Theorem?

Back

The Vertical Angle Theorem states that when two lines intersect, the opposite (vertical) angles are congruent.

Front

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a rule that states if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a rule that states if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the 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 rule that states if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

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

Front

What is the definition of corresponding sides in triangles?

Back

Corresponding sides are the sides of two triangles that are in the same relative position.

Front

What is the definition of corresponding angles in triangles?

Back

Corresponding angles are the angles of two triangles that are in the same relative position.

Front

What is the significance of drawing a picture when solving triangle congruence problems?

Back

Drawing a picture helps visualize the triangles and their relationships, making it easier to identify congruence and apply the appropriate theorems.
