Front

What does HL stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

HL stands for Hypotenuse-Leg, a criterion for triangle congruence that applies to right triangles.

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence where all three sides of one triangle are equal to the three sides of another triangle.

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence where two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle.

Front

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence where two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle.

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a criterion for triangle congruence where two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle.

Front

What is the AAA criterion in triangle congruence?

Back

AAA stands for Angle-Angle-Angle, which indicates that if two triangles have equal corresponding angles, they are similar but not necessarily congruent.

Front

What is the significance of 'Not enough information' in triangle congruence?

Back

It indicates that there is insufficient data to determine if the triangles are congruent using the available criteria.

Front

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

Back

Use the properties of triangles, such as the sum of angles in a triangle equals 180 degrees, or apply congruence criteria.

Front

What is a proof in geometry?

Back

A proof is a logical argument that establishes the truth of a geometric statement using definitions, axioms, and previously established theorems.

Front

What does it mean for angles to be congruent?

Back

Congruent angles have the same measure, meaning they are equal in degrees.
