SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS Quiz

Consider if any additional information can be marked up in the given diagram. Then determine if the pair of triangles can be proved congruent by SSS, SAS, ASA, or AAS. If the triangles cannot be proven congruent by one of those methods, choose "Not Congruent"

• SSS

• SAS

• ASA

• AAS

• NOT CONGRUENT

Answer explanation

The shared side between the triangles is congruent in both triangles by the refleXive postulate. The triangles can be proven congruent by ASA.

• SSS

• SAS

• ASA

• NOT CONGRUENT

Answer explanation

The shared side between the triangles is congruent in both triangles by the refleXive postulate. The triangles then can be proven congruent by SSS.

• SSS

• SAS

• ASA

• AAS

• NOT CONGRUENT

Answer explanation

There are only two pairs of corresponding congruent parts marked in the diagram. To prove two triangles congruent, you need three pairs of congruent corresponding parts, so these triangles CANNOT be proven congruent!

• SSS

• SAS

• ASA

• AAS

• NOT CONGRUENT

Answer explanation

Even though the vertical angles formed by the intersecting sides are congruent, there is no AAA method to prove triangles congruent. The triangles CANNOT be proven congruent!

• SSS

• SAS

• ASA

• AAS

• NOT CONGRUENT

Answer explanation

The shared side (the diagonal) is congruent in both triangles by refleXive postulate, so the triangles can be proven congruent by AAS.

• SSS

• SAS

• ASA

• AAS

• NOT CONGRUENT

Answer explanation

Even though the vertical angles formed by the intersecting sides are congruent, SSA is not a method to prove triangles are congruent (unless the A is a right Angle!) Therefore the triangles canNOT be proven congruent.
