What does the congruence statement WV ≌ WU imply?

Back

It implies that segments WV and WU are equal in length.

Front

What is the significance of the statement ∠MNL ≌ ∠ONP?

Back

It indicates that angles MNL and ONP are congruent.

Front

What triangle congruence criteria is represented by the letters ASA?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a criterion for triangle congruence.

Front

What does the Reflexive Property state?

Back

The Reflexive Property states that any geometric figure is congruent to itself.

Front

What is the meaning of the term 'segment bisector'?

Back

A segment bisector is a line, ray, or segment that divides another segment into two equal parts.

Front

What does the congruence statement MN ≌ ON indicate?

Back

It indicates that segments MN and ON are equal in length.

Front

What is the definition of the HL triangle congruence criterion?

Back

HL stands for Hypotenuse-Leg, a criterion used for proving the congruence of right triangles.

Front

What is the purpose of the statement AD=DA in a proof?

Back

It demonstrates the Reflexive Property, showing that segment AD is equal to itself.

Front

What does SSA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSA stands for Side-Side-Angle, which is not a valid criterion for triangle congruence.

Front

What is the meaning of 'perpendicular lines'?

Back

Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect at a right angle (90 degrees).
