Proving Triangle Congruence with ASA and AAS Theorems

What is a congruent statement in the context of triangles?

• A statement that shows two triangles have corresponding sides and angles that are equal.

• A statement that shows two triangles have the same area.

• A statement that shows two triangles are similar.

• A statement that shows two triangles have the same perimeter.

In the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) theorem, where must the angle be located?

• At the midpoint of one side

• At the end of one side

• Outside the two sides

• Between the two sides

What does the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) theorem require to prove two triangles are congruent?

• Two angles and a side not between them

• Two sides and an angle not between them

• Two angles and the side between them

• Three angles

In the ASA theorem, what is the significance of the side being between the two angles?

• It locks the side into place, making the triangles congruent.

• It ensures the triangles have the same perimeter.

• It ensures the triangles have the same area.

• It ensures the triangles are similar.

Which of the following combinations does NOT prove triangle congruence?

• Angle-Angle-Side (AAS)

• Angle-Angle-Angle (AAA)

• Side-Side-Side (SSS)

• Angle-Side-Angle (ASA)

Why can't the Angle-Angle-Angle (AAA) combination prove triangle congruence?

• It requires additional information about the angles.

• It only shows similarity, not congruence.

• It does not consider the sides of the triangles.

• It only works for right triangles.

What is a key reason why SSA (Side-Side-Angle) does not prove triangle congruence?

• It requires the sides to be of equal length.

• It does not consider the angles of the triangles.

• It can result in two different triangles.

• It only works for isosceles triangles.
