What is the SAS triangle congruence theorem?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, which states 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.

What is the SSS triangle congruence theorem?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, which states that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Can two triangles be congruent if only two angles are known?

Back

No, knowing only two angles (SSA) does not guarantee triangle congruence.

What is the difference between AAS and ASA?

Back

Both AAS and ASA involve two angles and a side, but in AAS, the side is not between the two angles, while in ASA, the side is between the two angles.

What is the criteria for triangle congruence using AAS?

Back

If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

What is the significance of congruence in triangles?

Back

Congruence in triangles means that the triangles have the same shape and size, allowing for the same measurements and properties.
