12/6 Pearson's 5-3Triangle Congruence and Proof Concepts

Front

What does HL stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

Hypotenuse-Leg

Front

What are the five ways to prove triangles congruent?

Back

SSS, ASA, AAS, SAS, HL

Front

What does SAS stand for?

Back

Side-Angle-Side

Front

Can two triangles be proven congruent if they have two sides and the included angle equal?

Back

Yes, by the SAS postulate.

Front

If ∠F = ∠G, what can be said about these angles?

Back

They are congruent.

Front

What is the SSS postulate?

Back

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

Front

What is the ASA postulate?

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 postulate?

Back

If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and a non-included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the definition of congruent triangles?

Back

Triangles that are identical in shape and size, meaning all corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

If two triangles are congruent, what can be said about their corresponding parts?

Back

Their corresponding sides and angles are equal.
