Exit Ticket Triangle Congruency

Front

What is the definition of congruent triangles?

Back

Triangles that have the same size and shape, meaning their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What does the SSS congruence postulate state?

Back

If three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does the SAS congruence postulate state?

Back

If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does the ASA congruence postulate state?

Back

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

What does the AAS congruence postulate state?

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, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the HL congruence postulate?

Back

If the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the significance of the congruence statement ΔABC ≅ ΔEDC?

Back

It indicates that triangle ABC is congruent to triangle EDC, meaning all corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

How can you determine if two triangles are congruent using angle measures?

Back

If two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, the triangles are congruent by the AAS postulate.

Front

What is the relationship between corresponding parts of congruent triangles?

Back

Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are equal, meaning their corresponding sides and angles are the same.

Front

What does it mean if two triangles are not congruent?

Back

It means that at least one pair of corresponding sides or angles is not equal.
