MP2 Week 5 (W/Th) - Triangle Congruence Review

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence where all three sides of one triangle are equal to the three sides of another triangle.

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence where two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle.

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a criterion for triangle congruence where two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle.

Front

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence where two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle.

Front

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 are congruent by SSS, what can be said about their angles?

Back

If two triangles are congruent by SSS, all corresponding angles are also equal.

Front

What is the significance of the congruency statement in triangle congruence?

Back

The congruency statement indicates which parts of the triangles are equal, helping to identify corresponding sides and angles.

Front

Can two triangles be congruent if only one side is known?

Back

No, at least two sides and the included angle or two angles and a side must be known to determine congruence.

Front

What is the difference between SSA and other congruence criteria?

Back

SSA (Side-Side-Angle) does not guarantee triangle congruence, as it can lead to ambiguous cases.

Front

How can you determine if two triangles are congruent using the SAS criterion?

Back

To determine congruence using SAS, check if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to the corresponding parts of another triangle.
