What is the Vertical Angles Theorem?

Back

The Vertical Angles Theorem states that when two lines intersect, the opposite (or vertical) angles are equal.

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 equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle.

Front

What is the Reflexive Property?

Back

The Reflexive Property states that any quantity is equal to itself, i.e., for any segment AB, AB = AB.

Front

What is CPCTC?

Back

CPCTC stands for Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent, which is used to prove that corresponding sides and angles of congruent triangles are equal.

Front

What is the SAS criterion for triangle congruence?

Back

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

Front

What is the SSS criterion for triangle congruence?

Back

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

Front

What is the AAS criterion for 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 equal to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle.

Front

How do you find the value of x in congruent triangles?

Back

To find the value of x in congruent triangles, set the corresponding sides or angles equal to each other and solve for x.

Front

How do you find the value of y in congruent triangles?

Back

To find the value of y in congruent triangles, use the properties of congruence to set up an equation based on corresponding angles or sides.

What is a translation in coordinate geometry?

Back

A translation in coordinate geometry is a transformation that moves every point of a figure the same distance in a given direction.
