Triangle Congruence: ASA & AAS

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

Angle-Side-Angle

Front

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

Angle-Angle-Side

Front

What is the ASA congruence rule?

Back

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.

Front

What is the AAS congruence rule?

Back

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.

Front

Can triangles be congruent if only the angles are known?

Back

No, knowing only the angles (AAA) does not guarantee congruence.

Front

What is the SSS congruence rule?

Back

If all three sides of one triangle are equal to all three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the SAS congruence rule?

Back

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.

Front

If two triangles have two angles of one equal to two angles of another, what can be said about their sides?

Back

The sides are not necessarily equal; the triangles may not be congruent.

Front

What is the relationship between congruent triangles and their corresponding parts?

Back

Congruent triangles have corresponding sides and angles that are equal.

Front

How can you determine if two triangles are congruent using AAS?

Back

Check if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding parts of another triangle.
