SSS, SAS, ASA & AAS Review

Front

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence.

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a criterion for triangle congruence.

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence.

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence.

Front

What is the AAS criterion used for?

Back

The AAS criterion is used to determine if two triangles are congruent by showing two angles and a non-included side are equal.

Front

What is the ASA criterion used for?

Back

The ASA criterion is used to determine if two triangles are congruent by showing two angles and the included side are equal.

Front

What is the SAS criterion used for?

Back

The SAS criterion is used to determine if two triangles are congruent by showing two sides and the included angle are equal.

Front

What is the SSS criterion used for?

Back

The SSS criterion is used to determine if two triangles are congruent by showing all three sides are equal.

Front

Can AAA be used to prove triangle congruence?

Back

No, AAA (Angle-Angle-Angle) cannot be used to prove triangle congruence as it only shows similarity, not congruence.

Front

If two triangles have two angles equal, what can be said about their sides?

Back

If two triangles have two angles equal, the sides opposite those angles are in proportion, but the triangles are not necessarily congruent.
