Congruent Triangles Review

Front

What are congruent triangles?

Back

Triangles that have the same size and shape, meaning their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the SSS Congruence Postulate?

Back

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

Front

What is the SAS Congruence Postulate?

Back

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 is the AAS Congruence Postulate?

Back

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.

Front

What is the ASA Congruence Postulate?

Back

If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the corresponding included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does the Reflexive Property state?

Back

A geometric figure is congruent to itself; for example, triangle ABC is congruent to triangle ABC.

Front

How do you denote congruence between triangles?

Back

Using the symbol '≅', for example, ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF means triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF.

Front

What is the significance of corresponding parts in congruent triangles?

Back

In congruent triangles, corresponding sides and angles are equal, which helps in proving triangle congruence.

Front

What is the definition of corresponding angles?

Back

Angles that are in the same relative position in two different geometric figures.

Front

What is the definition of corresponding sides?

Back

Sides that are in the same relative position in two different geometric figures.
