What is the Congruence Postulate?

Back

A rule that states triangles are congruent if they satisfy any of the following: SSS (Side-Side-Side), SAS (Side-Angle-Side), ASA (Angle-Side-Angle), AAS (Angle-Angle-Side), or HL (Hypotenuse-Leg for right triangles).

If ∠A ≅ ∠D, what can we say about triangles that include these angles?

Back

The triangles are congruent if the corresponding sides are also equal.

What does it mean if two triangles are similar?

Back

They have the same shape but not necessarily the same size; their corresponding angles are equal, and their corresponding sides are in proportion.

What is the Angle-Angle (AA) criterion for triangle similarity?

Back

If two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, the triangles are similar.

How do you denote that two angles are congruent?

Back

Using the symbol '≅' (for example, ∠A ≅ ∠B).
