What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

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

Front

What is the Vertical Angles Theorem?

Back

The Vertical Angles Theorem states that when two lines intersect, the opposite (or vertical) angles are equal.

Front

What is the Definition of Angle Bisector?

Back

An angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle into two equal parts.

Front

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence where two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle.

Front

What is the Segment Addition Postulate?

Back

The Segment Addition Postulate states that if point B is between points A and C, then AB + BC = AC.

Front

What is the Angle Addition Postulate?

Back

The Angle Addition Postulate states that if point D is in the interior of angle ABC, then the measure of angle ABC is equal to the sum of the measures of angle ABD and angle DBC.

Front

How can you prove triangles are congruent using SAS?

Back

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

Front

What is a congruence statement?

Back

A congruence statement is a statement that indicates that two geometric figures are congruent, often written in the form of triangle congruence, such as △ABC ≅ △DEF.

Front

What does it mean for angles to be congruent?

Back

Congruent angles are angles that have the same measure.

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.
