Ch 5 Review Triangle Congruence Proofs

Front

What does CPCTC stand for?

Back

CPCTC stands for 'Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent.' It is used as a reason in triangle proofs.

What is the SSS Congruence Postulate?

Back

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

Front

What is the SAS Congruence Postulate?

Back

The SAS (Side-Angle-Side) Congruence Postulate states that 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.

What is the ASA Congruence Postulate?

Back

The ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Congruence Postulate states that 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 is the AAS Congruence Postulate?

Back

The AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) Congruence Postulate states that 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 is the HL Congruence Theorem?

Back

The HL (Hypotenuse-Leg) Congruence Theorem states that if the hypotenuse and one leg of a 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 Congruence?

Back

Two figures are congruent if they have the same shape and size, meaning all corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the Definition of Midpoint?

Back

A midpoint is a point that divides a segment into two equal parts.
