What is the AA similarity criterion for triangles?

Back

The AA (Angle-Angle) similarity criterion states that if two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

Front

What does SAS similarity mean in triangles?

Back

SAS (Side-Angle-Side) similarity means that if two sides of one triangle are in proportion to two sides of another triangle and the included angles are equal, then the triangles are similar.

Front

What is the SSS congruence criterion for triangles?

Back

The SSS (Side-Side-Side) congruence criterion states that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) states that 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

How do you determine if two triangles are similar?

Back

Two triangles are similar if they satisfy any of the following criteria: AA (Angle-Angle), SAS (Side-Angle-Side), or SSS (Side-Side-Side) similarity.

Front

What is the definition of congruent triangles?

Back

Congruent triangles are triangles that are identical in shape and size, meaning all corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the formula to solve for x in a linear equation?

Back

To solve for x in a linear equation, isolate x on one side of the equation using inverse operations.

Front

What does it mean if two triangles are not similar?

Back

If two triangles are not similar, it means they do not have the same shape, and their corresponding angles and sides are not proportional.

Front

What is the significance of the included angle in SAS similarity?

Back

The included angle in SAS similarity is crucial because it must be equal for the two triangles to be considered similar.

Front

What is the difference between similarity and congruence in triangles?

Back

Similarity means the triangles have the same shape but not necessarily the same size, while congruence means the triangles are identical in both shape and size.
