What does the SAS postulate state?

Back

The SAS (Side-Angle-Side) postulate states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Front

What does the SSS postulate state?

Back

The SSS (Side-Side-Side) postulate states that if three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Front

What does the ASA postulate state?

Back

The ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) postulate states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Front

What does the AAS postulate state?

Back

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

Front

What is a simplified radical?

Back

A simplified radical is a radical expression that has been simplified so that there are no perfect square factors under the radical sign.

Front

How do you find the value of x in a triangle?

Back

To find the value of x in a triangle, you can use properties such as the sum of angles in a triangle, the Pythagorean theorem, or congruence postulates depending on the information given.

Front

What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle?

Back

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.

Front

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Back

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

Front

What is the difference between congruent and similar triangles?

Back

Congruent triangles have the same size and shape, meaning all corresponding sides and angles are equal. Similar triangles have the same shape but not necessarily the same size; their corresponding angles are equal, and their sides are proportional.

Front

What is the definition of a triangle?

Back

A triangle is a polygon with three edges and three vertices. It is one of the basic shapes in geometry.
