Front

What does CPCTC stand for?

What is the abbreviation for Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent?

Back

CPCTC

Front

What triangle congruence postulate justifies the congruency of triangles when two sides and the included angle are known?

Back

SAS Postulate (Side-Angle-Side Postulate).

Front

What do we call triangles that are identical in figure and have the same measures of corresponding interior angles and sides?

Back

Congruent triangles.

Front

What is the AAS theorem in triangle congruence?

Back

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 ASA postulate in triangle congruence?

Back

If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the corresponding included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the SSS postulate in triangle congruence?

Back

If three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the definition of congruent triangles?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between similar triangles and congruent triangles?

Back

Similar triangles have the same shape but not necessarily the same size; congruent triangles are identical in size and shape.
