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 congruent 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 congruent to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle.

Front

What is the importance of order in triangle congruence statements?

Back

The order of vertices in triangle congruence statements matters because it indicates which angles and sides correspond to each other.

Front

What additional information is needed to prove triangles are congruent by SAS?

Back

You need to know that the included angle between the two sides is congruent.

Front

What additional information is needed to prove triangles are congruent by AAS?

Back

You need to know that one side opposite one of the angles is congruent to the corresponding side in the other triangle.

Front

What is a congruence statement?

Back

A congruence statement is a mathematical statement that indicates that two geometric figures are congruent, meaning they have the same shape and size.

Front

What does it mean for two angles to be congruent?

Back

Two angles are congruent if they have the same measure.

Front

What does it mean for two sides to be congruent?

Back

Two sides are congruent if they have the same length.

Front

How can you prove triangles are congruent using the SSS criterion?

Back

You can prove triangles are congruent using the SSS (Side-Side-Side) criterion if all three sides of one triangle are congruent to the three sides of another triangle.

Front

What is the difference between SAS and AAS?

Back

SAS requires two sides and the included angle to be congruent, while AAS requires two angles and a non-included side to be congruent.
