What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a criterion that states 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 criterion that states 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 AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a criterion that states 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 criterion that applies specifically 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.

What is the Reflexive Property in geometry?

Back

The Reflexive Property states that any geometric figure is congruent to itself, meaning AC = AC.

Front

What does CPCTC stand for?

Back

CPCTC stands for Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent, used to justify that corresponding sides or angles of congruent triangles are also congruent.

If two triangles are congruent by ASA, what can be concluded about their corresponding sides?

Back

If two triangles are congruent by ASA, then all corresponding sides are also congruent.

Can two triangles be proven congruent by AA?

Back

No, AA (Angle-Angle) alone does not prove congruence; it only proves similarity.
