Coach E's ASA and AAS

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 congruent 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 congruent to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle.

Front

What is the criteria for triangle congruence using SSS?

Back

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

Front

What is the criteria for triangle congruence using SAS?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of congruent angles in triangles?

Back

Congruent angles in triangles indicate that the triangles may be similar or congruent, which can help in proving triangle congruence using criteria like ASA or AAS.

Front

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

Back

To determine if two triangles are congruent using AAS, check if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and non-included side of the other triangle.

Front

What additional information is needed to prove triangles congruent using ASA?

Back

To prove triangles congruent using ASA, you need to show that two angles and the included side are congruent between the two triangles.

Front

What is the relationship between congruent triangles and their corresponding parts?

Back

If two triangles are congruent, then all corresponding sides and angles are also congruent.

Front

What does it mean if two triangles are not congruent?

Back

If two triangles are not congruent, it means that there is at least one pair of corresponding sides or angles that are not equal.

Front

How can you identify congruent triangles in a diagram?

Back

Congruent triangles in a diagram can often be identified by markings such as tick marks on sides or arcs on angles that indicate congruence.
