What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a method to prove triangles are congruent by showing two angles and the non-included side are equal.

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a method to prove triangles are congruent by showing two sides and the included angle are equal.

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a method to prove triangles are congruent by showing all three sides are equal.

Front

What does AAA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAA stands for Angle-Angle-Angle, which is not a valid method for proving triangle congruence.

Front

If two triangles have two angles and the included side equal, what can be concluded?

Back

The triangles are congruent by the AAS postulate.

Front

If two triangles have all three sides equal, what can be concluded?

Back

The triangles are congruent by the SSS postulate.

Front

What is the relationship between corresponding parts of congruent triangles?

Back

Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are equal.

Front

What is the significance of the congruence symbol (≅)?

Back

The congruence symbol (≅) indicates that two figures are congruent, meaning they have the same shape and size.

Front

What is a necessary condition to prove triangles are congruent using SAS?

Back

You need to have two sides and the angle between them equal.
