What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

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

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a postulate that states if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

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

Front

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

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

Front

What does HL stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

HL stands for Hypotenuse-Leg, a postulate that applies 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, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the definition of an Isosceles triangle?

Back

An Isosceles triangle is a triangle that has at least two sides of equal length.

Front

What is the definition of a Scalene triangle?

Back

A Scalene triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are of different lengths.

Front

What is the definition of an Equilateral triangle?

Back

An Equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are of equal length.

Front

What is the definition of a Right triangle?

Back

A Right triangle is a triangle that has one angle measuring 90 degrees.

Front

What is the SSA condition in triangle congruence?

Back

SSA stands for Side-Side-Angle, which is not a valid postulate for proving triangle congruence.
