What does CPCTC stand for?

Back

CPCTC stands for 'Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent.' It is used after triangles have been proven congruent.

Front

When can CPCTC be applied?

Back

CPCTC can be applied after triangles are proven congruent.

Front

What is the SSS criterion for triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for 'Side-Side-Side.' It states that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does HL stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

HL stands for 'Hypotenuse-Leg.' It is a criterion used to prove the congruence of right triangles.

Front

What is the ASA postulate?

Back

ASA stands for 'Angle-Side-Angle.' It states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the AAS postulate?

Back

AAS stands for 'Angle-Angle-Side.' It states that 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, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What information is needed to prove triangles congruent using SAS?

Back

To prove triangles congruent using SAS, you need two sides and the included angle to be equal.

Front

What is the difference between SAS and ASA?

Back

SAS requires two sides and the included angle to be equal, while ASA requires two angles and the included side to be equal.

Front

What does it mean for triangles to be congruent?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of congruence in geometry?

Back

Congruence in geometry allows us to determine that two shapes are identical in form, which is essential for solving problems involving shapes.
