What is the HL theorem in triangle congruence?

Back

HL (Hypotenuse-Leg) is a theorem that states if the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

What does the SAS theorem state?

Back

The SAS theorem 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.

What is the ASA postulate?

Back

The ASA 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.

What is the SSS theorem?

Back

The SSS theorem states that if all three sides of one triangle are equal to all three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Can two triangles be congruent if only two sides are known?

Back

Not necessarily; SSA does not prove congruence.

What is the significance of the included angle in the SAS theorem?

Back

The included angle is the angle between the two sides being compared, which is crucial for establishing congruence.

What is the difference between ASA and AAS?

Back

ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) requires the side to be between the two angles, while AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) does not.

What is the criteria for triangle congruence using AAS?

Back

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.
