What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a theorem stating that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a theorem 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.

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a theorem stating that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a theorem stating that if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and a corresponding non-included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

What does HL stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

HL stands for Hypotenuse-Leg, a theorem applicable to right triangles stating that if the hypotenuse and one leg of one right triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, the triangles are congruent.
