Test # 2 - Concepts Of Congruence

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence where two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle.

Front

What are the three types of transformations in geometry?

Back

The three types of transformations are translations, rotations, and reflections.

Front

Define alternate interior angles.

Back

Alternate interior angles are angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and on the inside of the parallel lines.

Front

What is a transversal in geometry?

Back

A transversal is a line that intersects two or more other lines in a plane at different points.

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation is a transformation that moves (slides) each point of a figure the same distance and in the same direction.

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence where all three sides of one triangle are equal to the three sides of another triangle.

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a criterion for triangle congruence where two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle.

Front

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence where two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle.

Front

What is a reflection in geometry?

Back

A reflection is a transformation that flips a figure over a line, creating a mirror image.

Front

What is a rotation in geometry?

Back

A rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point at a certain angle.
