SAS Triangle Congruence CP

Front

What does SAS stand for?

Back

Side-Angle-Side

Front

True or False: The triangles are congruent by SAS.

Back

True

Front

What do we call the property that states segment BD is congruent to itself?

Back

Reflexive

Front

What is the justification (reason) for proving triangles congruent using the SAS Congruence Postulate?

Back

Definition of a midpoint

Front

What is the SAS Congruence Postulate?

Back

If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

If triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF, what can we say about their corresponding sides and angles?

Back

AB = DE, BC = EF, AC = DF and ∠A = ∠D, ∠B = ∠E, ∠C = ∠F.

Front

What is the difference between congruent triangles and similar triangles?

Back

Congruent triangles have the same size and shape, while similar triangles have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.

Front

What is the role of the included angle in the SAS Congruence Postulate?

Back

The included angle is the angle formed between the two sides being compared for congruence.

Front

How can you prove that two triangles are congruent using the SAS Postulate?

Back

Show that two sides of one triangle are equal to two sides of another triangle and that the angle between those sides is equal.

Front

What is an example of a real-world application of triangle congruence?

Back

Determining if two triangular pieces of land are the same size and shape.
