What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?
Back
SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence stating that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

How can you determine if two triangles are congruent using SSS?
Back
To determine if two triangles are congruent using SSS, measure the lengths of all three sides of both triangles. If all three pairs of corresponding sides are equal, the triangles are congruent.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How can you determine if two triangles are congruent using SAS?
Back
To determine if two triangles are congruent using SAS, measure two sides and the included angle of both triangles. If the two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to the corresponding parts of the other triangle, they are congruent.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the significance of congruent triangles in geometry?
Back
Congruent triangles have the same shape and size, which means their corresponding sides and angles are equal. This property is essential in proving other geometric theorems and solving problems.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Can two triangles be congruent if only one side is equal?
Back
No, two triangles cannot be congruent if only one side is equal. At least two sides and the included angle (SAS) or all three sides (SSS) must be equal for the triangles to be congruent.
