Fall 24 Final Exam Review Part 2

Front

What are parallel lines?

Back

Parallel lines are lines in a plane that never meet. They are always the same distance apart and have the same slope.

Front

What is a transversal?

Back

A transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines at different points.

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

Alternate interior angles are pairs of angles that lie between two lines and on opposite sides of a transversal. They are congruent when the lines are parallel.

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in the same position on two different lines cut by a transversal. They are congruent when the lines are parallel.

Front

What are same side exterior angles?

Back

Same side exterior angles are pairs of angles that lie outside two lines and on the same side of a transversal. They are supplementary when the lines are parallel.

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence stating that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence stating 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 significance of congruent angles in triangles?

Back

Congruent angles in triangles indicate that the triangles may be similar or congruent, which helps in proving triangle congruence.

Front

How do you prove triangles are congruent using SSS?

Back

To prove triangles are congruent using SSS, show that all three corresponding sides of the triangles are equal in length.

Front

How do you prove triangles are congruent using SAS?

Back

To prove triangles are congruent using SAS, show that two sides and the angle between them in one triangle are equal to the corresponding two sides and angle in another triangle.
