What is the Linear Pair Postulate?

Back

If two angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary.

Front

What are the conditions for three lengths to form a triangle?

Back

The sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side.

Front

If VS=5 and VQ=6, what is PQ if it is the sum of VS and VQ?

Back

PQ = 5 + 6 = 11.

Front

What does it mean for two triangles to be congruent?

Back

Two triangles are congruent if they have the same size and shape, which can be proven using criteria like SSS, SAS, or ASA.

Front

What is the SSS Congruence Postulate?

Back

If three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the SAS Congruence Postulate?

Back

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

Front

What is the ASA Congruence Postulate?

Back

If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the definition of supplementary angles?

Back

Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

Front

How do you determine if a triangle is possible with given side lengths?

Back

Use the triangle inequality theorem: the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side.

Front

What is the definition of a linear pair?

Back

A linear pair is a pair of adjacent angles formed when two lines intersect, and they are supplementary.
