Geometry Midterm Review Part II

Front

What does SSS stand for in geometry?

Back

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

Front

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

If two figures are similar, what can be said about their angles?

Back

The angles of similar figures are congruent.

Front

What is the Triangle Inequality Theorem?

Back

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.

Front

What does HL stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

HL stands for Hypotenuse-Leg, a criterion for triangle congruence applicable to right triangles where the hypotenuse and one leg of one triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one leg of another triangle.

Front

What is the definition of congruent angles?

Back

Congruent angles are angles that have the same measure.

Front

What is the definition of similar figures?

Back

Similar figures are figures that have the same shape but may differ in size; their corresponding angles are congruent and their corresponding sides are proportional.

Front

What is the difference between complementary and supplementary angles?

Back

Complementary angles are two angles that add up to 90 degrees, while supplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180 degrees.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

Back

The area of a triangle is given by the formula: Area = 1/2 * base * height.

Front

What is the definition of a right triangle?

Back

A right triangle is a triangle that has one angle measuring 90 degrees.
