Exploring Triangle Congruence Theorems: SSS, SAS, AAS, ASA, and HL

The video tutorial covers the concepts of triangle congruence using angle-side-angle (ASA), angle-angle-side (AAS), and hypotenuse-leg (HL) criteria. It explains how these criteria can be used to determine if two triangles are congruent by comparing their angles and sides. The tutorial includes examples and reflections to illustrate these concepts, focusing on the importance of knowing at least one side length in AAS and the unique properties of right triangles in HL.

What is the key difference between angle-side-angle and angle-angle-side congruence criteria?

• The type of triangle

• The position of the side relative to the angles

• The length of the sides

• The number of angles involved

In the angle-angle-side criterion, what must be known to ensure the triangles are congruent?

• All three angles

• At least one side

• The perimeter of the triangle

• The area of the triangle

Given a triangle with angles 42° and 76°, and a side of 15 units, what is the corresponding side in the congruent triangle?

• 15 units

• Cannot be determined

• 76 units

• 42 units

What happens to the angles of a triangle when it is reflected?

• They remain the same

• They change

• They double

• They halve

In a reflected triangle, which property remains unchanged?

• The length of the sides

• The angles

• The area

• The perimeter

What is the hypotenuse in a right triangle?

• The side adjacent to the right angle

• The longest side

• The side opposite the right angle

• Both A and C

In the hypotenuse-leg criterion, what must be true about the triangle?

• It must be a scalene triangle

• It must be an equilateral triangle

• It must be a right triangle

• It must be an isosceles triangle

Which two parts of a right triangle are compared in the hypotenuse-leg criterion?

• Two angles

• One angle and one side

• The hypotenuse and one leg

• Two sides

What does the small square in the corner of a triangle indicate?

• An angle of 45 degrees

• An angle of 60 degrees

• An angle of 90 degrees

• An angle of 120 degrees

What is the main focus of the hypotenuse-leg criterion?

• Comparing all three angles

• Comparing the perimeter

• Comparing all three sides

• Comparing the hypotenuse and one leg
