Front

How can you determine if two triangles are congruent?

Back

Two triangles can be determined to be congruent if their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the SSS congruence criterion?

Back

The SSS (Side-Side-Side) congruence criterion states that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the SAS congruence criterion?

Back

The SAS (Side-Angle-Side) congruence criterion states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the ASA congruence criterion?

Back

The ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) congruence criterion 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 congruence criterion?

Back

The AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) congruence criterion 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 is the HL congruence criterion?

Back

The HL (Hypotenuse-Leg) congruence criterion applies to right triangles and states that if the hypotenuse and one leg of one right triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, the triangles are congruent.
