What is the Angle-Angle-Side (ASA) Congruence Postulate?

Back

The ASA 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 triangles are congruent.

What is a transformation in geometry?

Back

A transformation is an operation that moves or changes a geometric figure in some way to produce a new figure. Common transformations include translation, rotation, reflection, and dilation.

What is a reflection in geometry?

Back

A reflection is a transformation that flips a figure over a line, creating a mirror image of the original figure.

What is the definition of congruent triangles?

Back

Congruent triangles are triangles that have the same size and shape, meaning their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

What is the Midpoint Theorem?

Back

The Midpoint Theorem states that the segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half as long.

What is the Hypotenuse Congruence Theorem?

Back

The Hypotenuse Congruence Theorem states that if the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

What is a rotation in geometry?

Back

A rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point, called the center of rotation, by a certain angle.

What is the definition of dilation in geometry?

Back

A dilation is a transformation that alters the size of a figure but keeps its shape, using a scale factor.
