Tiangle Congrueence Review

Front

What does CPCTC stand for?

Back

Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the measure of ∠S if it is given as 36°?

Back

∠S = 36°.

Front

If the measures of 2 sides of a triangle are 57 and 32, what is the LEAST possible measure of the third side if the measure is an integer?

Back

The least possible measure of the third side is 26.

Front

Which triangle congruence postulate proves these two triangles are congruent if two sides and the included angle are known?

Back

The postulate is SAS (Side-Angle-Side).

Front

Are these triangles congruent if the given information leads to SSA?

Back

Not Congruent.

Front

What is the Triangle Inequality Theorem?

Back

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

Front

What does the SSS postulate state?

Back

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

Front

What does the ASA postulate state?

Back

If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side 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 all corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What does the AAS postulate state?

Back

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