Geometry 2nd semester Final- Adjusted

Front

What does it mean for two triangles to be congruent?

Back

Two triangles are congruent if they have the same size and shape, meaning their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the SAS Congruence Postulate?

Back

The SAS (Side-Angle-Side) Congruence Postulate states that 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 is the SSS Congruence Postulate?

Back

The SSS (Side-Side-Side) Congruence Postulate states that if all three sides of one triangle are equal to all three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the ASA Congruence Postulate?

Back

The ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Congruence Postulate states that 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 is the AAS Congruence Postulate?

Back

The AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) Congruence Postulate states that 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 Theorem?

Back

The HL (Hypotenuse-Leg) Congruence Theorem states that 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

How do you find the surface area of a rectangular prism?

Back

The surface area of a rectangular prism is found using the formula: SA = 2(lw + lh + wh), where l is length, w is width, and h is height.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

Back

The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula: Area = 1/2 * base * height.

Front

What is the difference between congruent and similar triangles?

Back

Congruent triangles have the same size and shape, while similar triangles have the same shape but may differ in size (corresponding angles are equal, and corresponding sides are proportional).

Front

What is a postulate in geometry?

Back

A postulate is a statement that is accepted as true without proof and serves as a starting point for further reasoning and arguments.
