End of Day 5 Practice Triangles, Triangles, Triangles!

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence stating that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence stating that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a criterion for triangle congruence stating that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence stating 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, the triangles are congruent.

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

How can you determine if two triangles are not congruent?

Back

Two triangles are not congruent if their corresponding sides and angles do not match in length and measure.

Front

What is an acute triangle?

Back

An acute triangle is a triangle where all three interior angles are less than 90 degrees.

Front

What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle?

Back

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.

Front

If one angle of a triangle is 90 degrees, what type of triangle is it?

Back

If one angle of a triangle is 90 degrees, it is called a right triangle.

Front

What is the relationship between the sides of a triangle and its angles?

Back

In a triangle, the larger the angle, the longer the opposite side; conversely, the smaller the angle, the shorter the opposite side.
