Geo 3.2 -- Triangle Congruence

​

The order of the letters matters!!

Multiple Choice

Use the congruency statement to answer the following:

<F = ___

• <H

• <I

• <G

• not congruent to another angle

Multiple Choice

△BAC ≅ △QPR. If ∠B = 2x and ∠Q = 10, find the value of x.

• 2

• 4

• 5

• -5

All 3 sides of the triangle are congruent

SSS

2 sides and the included angle of the triangles are congruent

SAS

2 angles and the included side are congruent

ASA

Two sides and a non-included angle do NOT prove congruence​

SSA - NOT CONGRUENT!!

If both triangles are right triangles, you can use HL (hypotenuse-leg) congruence theorem.
