What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a postulate that states if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a postulate that states if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a postulate that states 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.

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a postulate that states 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.

What is the HL theorem in triangle congruence?

Back

The HL theorem stands for Hypotenuse-Leg theorem, which states that if the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

What are Alternate Interior Angles?

Back

Alternate Interior Angles are pairs of angles that are on opposite sides of a transversal and inside two parallel lines; they are equal when the lines are parallel.

What is the significance of congruent triangles in geometry?

Back

Congruent triangles have the same size and shape, which means their corresponding sides and angles are equal, allowing for various geometric proofs and applications.
