What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a theorem used to prove that two triangles are congruent if two angles and the included side are known.

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a theorem used to prove that two triangles are congruent if all three sides of one triangle are equal to the three sides of another triangle.

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a theorem used to prove that two triangles are congruent if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to the corresponding parts of another triangle.

What is the definition of a unique triangle?

Back

A unique triangle is a triangle that can be formed in only one way with the given measurements.

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.
