What does SSS stand for in triangle congruency?

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, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruency?

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, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruency?

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, then the triangles are congruent.

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruency?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a theorem 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, then the triangles are congruent.

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

If two triangles have two pairs of equal angles, what can be concluded about the triangles?

Back

The triangles are congruent by the AAS postulate.

Front

If two triangles have three pairs of equal sides, what can be concluded about the triangles?

Back

The triangles are congruent by the SSS postulate.

Front

If two triangles have two sides and the included angle equal, what can be concluded about the triangles?

Back

The triangles are congruent by the SAS postulate.

If two triangles have two angles and a non-included side equal, what can be concluded about the triangles?

Back

The triangles are congruent by the AAS theorem.

Front

What is the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) postulate?

Back

The ASA postulate states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
