Front

What is the length of side XY if it is given that XY = 27?

Back

The length of side XY is 27.

Front

Which postulate can be used to prove triangles congruent if EF = BC and AB = DE?

Back

The postulate that can be used is HL (Hypotenuse-Leg).

Front

Are the triangles congruent if the sides are given as SSS?

Back

Yes, the triangles are congruent by SSS (Side-Side-Side) postulate.

Front

Which of the following is NOT a test to prove triangles congruent: SAA, SSS, SSA, SAS?

Back

SSA is NOT a test to prove triangles congruent.

Front

What is the measure of angle C if it is given as 100º?

Back

The measure of angle C is 100º.

Front

Define the SSS postulate in triangle congruence.

Back

SSS (Side-Side-Side) postulate states that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does the SAS postulate stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS (Side-Angle-Side) postulate 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.

Front

Explain the ASA postulate in triangle congruence.

Back

ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) 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.

Front

What is the definition of the HL postulate?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between congruent and similar triangles?

Back

Congruent triangles are identical in shape and size, while similar triangles have the same shape but may differ in size.
