Front

What is the SAS postulate?

Back

The SAS (Side-Angle-Side) postulate states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Front

What does it mean for triangles to be similar?

Back

Triangles are similar if their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are in proportion.

Front

What does it mean when we say points are noncollinear?

Back

Noncollinear points are points that do not all lie on the same straight line.

Front

What is the definition of perpendicular lines?

Back

Perpendicular lines are two lines that intersect at a 90-degree angle.

Front

What is a line segment?

Back

A line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct endpoints.

Front

What is the definition of congruent triangles?

Back

Congruent triangles are triangles that are identical in shape and size, meaning their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the difference between a ray and a line segment?

Back

A ray is a part of a line that starts at a point and extends infinitely in one direction, while a line segment has two endpoints.

Front

What is the Angle-Angle (AA) similarity postulate?

Back

The AA similarity postulate states that if two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

Front

What is the definition of a triangle?

Back

A triangle is a polygon with three edges and three vertices.
